Highlights: Bishop's Stortford 3 Brightlingsea Regent 0

Stortford take a step closer to the title


Bishop’s Stortford had lost only twice at home this season, whilst visitors Brightlingsea Regent hadn’t managed a single victory on their travels, so yesterday’s match between the leaders and their already relegated visitors looked a home win certainty- and so it proved. Stortford comfortably made it five wins in a row and took themselves four points clear at the top with a three-nil victory. Harry Beadle headed home the opener after just three minutes, and the Blues were two up by half time, Ryan Charles volleying home at the far post from a Frankie Merrifield cross. With eleven minutes to go the hosts made the points certain, a free kick from Jonny Giles evading everyone and finding the net.
