A glorious sunny afternoon saw the 2nd and 3rd placed teams in the league matched up and a cracking game of football in front of 1142 spectators - the 12th highest attendance at the ground (based on the attendance list in the programme).
A Matt Tubbs special on 80 seconds gave Salisbury an early lead which they held until half-time - running onto a Luke Prince pass he accelerated past the last defender, took the ball towards the keeper, picked his angle and slotted it in.
Met Stu for the second half and left the cover of the terrace to watch from the side. Another quick goal for Salisbury - an early corner found it's way to Simon Browne who lashed it in from close range. Both teams were playing neat passing football and it wasn't a surprise when Stortford equalised.... I was in the queue at the teabar and just saw the goal before the queue snaked forward - a well taken header from a corner. While I was still waiting in the queue, Salisbury attacked again and won a corner. The ball was initially cleared but Simon Browne crossed it over to Tim Bond who headed it over the keeper and into the net for the third. Fortunately it happened at the end of the ground you can see clearly from the teabar!
News filtered through at the end that Histon had lost 2.1 at Havant & Waterlooville so Salisbury were top of the league!
