Bricknell reaches century as Blues find form once more

By Ian Townsend

Billericay return to North London- and to form- whilst K's and Mackerel Men fail to find the net


Billericay Town striker Billy Bricknell managed a feat that no England batsman has come close to achieving this week, reaching a century with the second goal in a three-one victory for the Blues at Wingate and Finchley.

It may be only six miles from Silver Jubilee Park to Summers Lane, but it was a great deal further in performance terms as Billericay Town put Saturday's defeat at Hendon behind them in the best way possible- and returned to something that at least resembled their earlier season form.

Billericay took the lead nine minutes before the break, Danny Waldren turning in a Jamie O'Hara cross, and Bricknell marked his club milestone- and 240th senior goal- with a penalty three minutes after the restart. Jake Robinson, who had been fouled to earn the penalty, then made the game safe twenty minutes later to end a recent scoring drought, before Irnti Rapai got a late consolation for the home side.

For all of the talk of crisis at the AGP Arena, this victory takes Billericay into second place in the Premier Division, five points behind Dulwich Hamlet with four matches in hand. They would close the gap to two points were they to defeat Harrow Borough on Wednesday.

In the other match last night, Kingstonian and Worthing played out a match with few chances which ended in a goalless stalemate. Worthing remain fifteenth, Kingstonian move up to nineteenth.
