Rickmansworth Town 0 Sun Sports 2                        1980/81                               HCL Div One

Promotion chasing Sun's task was made some-what easier when Town were reduced to just nine men after 15 minutes.
Midfielder Danny Roache and full back Tony Wilson both hobbled off with injuries.
However, as Sun manager Keith Hargreaves explained: "It's sometimes more difficult to play against a depleted side. And that was certainly the case on Saturday. They raised their game, while we were bumping in into each other."
Central defender John Eldridge opened the scoring after 17 minutes, heading home Dean Cripps' corner.
But the goal glut that might have followed was staved off by Town goalkeeper Mick Kavanagh who was in superb form.
Sun, in fact, had to wait until late in the game when Barry Smith scored with a screaming drive to make sure of the valuable points.
Wilson's knee injury will rule him out for the rest of the season.
