They only needed a single victory to secure promotion to the Premier Division with two games left to play and made a dream start, scoring after two minutes when Jack Hughes combined with Ian Heathcock who rode a couple of tackles to score with a low shot into the corner.

Two minutes into the second half Steve Hawkesford crossed a harmless looking ball into the St Martins box but Karl Vickers and Stuart Heathcock left it to each other and the ball ended in the back of the net.
