Sun in line for honours

Two goals up after 11 minutes, Sun were made to fight all the way by an improved Buntingford side, who in the closing minutes came near to salvaging a point.
Nevertheless, Sun deserved their success, and this "double" - they won 2-0 at Buntingford early in the season - keeps them in the running for Division One honours.
End to end play was the vogue in the opening minutes.
Then Sun got on top, Brian Pettifer crashed in a shot from 25 yards in the sixth minute and five minutes later Eric Williams slid in a second after a header by Wise had ben stopped, but not held by the Buntingford goalkeeper.
The visitors recovered and the rest of the half was mainly a battle of defences.
Fourteen minutes after the re-start Buntingford reduced the arrears, and for a long time they had the better of the exchanges.
The Sun defence played well at this stage to save the day.
