Sun get a  late boost

The scoreline suggests a walk-over, but in fact Sun Sports failed to establish their superiority over rock bottom Marconi until the final eight minutes of this Premier Division game.
The struggling St Albans side must have visualised their second point of the season when the 82nd minute arrived with the score still 1-1.
The next four minutes, however, brought a barrage of four goals and gave a false air of comfort to Sun's well deserved success.
Geoff Fowler, standing in as Sun's manager while Colin Brown is on holiday, ordered his side to try to wear down their hosts with running power in the second half.
The ploy eventually succeeded, but they left it late to produce the goals.
Strikers Ray Cole and Roy Jones were Sun's best men.
