Town poised to escape

Are Rickmansworth poised for an escape act?
They picked up their sixth point of the season and now look likely to avoid collecting the Premier Division wooden spoon.
Sun Sports manager, Geoff Fowler, joined the growing  number of managers who feel that Rickmansworth could till pull off a surprise after the Town proved god value for a point on Saturday.
Both sets of forwards lacked punch in the early stages, but at 55 minutes full back- cum- centre forward Alan Potter broke the deadlock when he lobbed the ball over the advancing Cliff Langley.
A minute later, Sun equalised when the defence failed to clear an Eddie Rolfe cross and John Matthews gratefully the chance.
"I can't fault one of my players", said the jubilant Rickmansworth manager Eddie Sorrell.
Particularly pleasing for Sorrell was the performance of new signing Steve Lawford.
More good news for Rickmansworth came later in the afternoon.
The Reserves move back to the top of Division Three after a 3-2 win over North Mymms.
