Saturday's win came thanks to a hat-trick of strikes from Neil Hodge, braces from Lee Riley and player-manager Mark Bodie, as well as goals from Daz Hughes and Nigel Dexter.

However, the match wasn't without its problems. Club secretary James Newcombe tried to sneak of the pitch citing injury with quarter of an hour to go - only to be told to get back onto the pitch due to a lack of substitutes.

Luke Thornhill, playing in his second league game of the season whilst back from university, also suffered a pulled hamstring.
