Sun are given a lesson

Sun Sports were given a lesson in the art of taking their chances on Saturday.
They had an equal share of the play  in the first half when they were facing the wind and they dominated after the interval - yet Saffron Walden took the Premier Division points by the odd goal of five.
Walden took an early lead through Nettle, Sun came into the game with Colin Brown stamping his class on the midfield play but Walden broke away to score a second goal through Smith before half time.
When Sun finally managed to open their account it was from a goal direct from a corner, John Matthews took the kick and curled the ball over a baffled defence and into the net.
Sun looked very menacing for a time but a careless back pass let in Smith for a third goal to Walden.
All that Sun had in reply was a penalty that Matthews converted although Walden were lucky to escape in a terrific scrimmage near the end.
