Bedmond Sports & Social 1 Sun Postal Sports 3      Herts County League   Prem         2002/03

Sun Postal overcame a turbulent week following the tragic death of their chairman, Frank Woolner, to maintain their title push with a 3-1 away win at lowly Bedmond.
"To say 'go and win it for Frank' would be unfair," said Sun manager Terry Hows, "But all I asked was that they gave 100 per cent and they did that superbly."
After an immaculately observed minute's silence, Darren Seabrook, returning after a three match absence with a back injury, should have hit the target with a left foot strike from an exquisite ball from Mark Congalton, while Bedmond's Matt Atkins flashed a chance over the bar.
Sun, with Congalton and the impressive Gregg McLaren featuring heavily down the right, finally got their reward for an enterprising opening when Robert Coldrake stole in at the back post to connect with a raking cross from Congalton for his fourth of the season.
Richie Johnson, against his former club, then gave Sun a two goal cushion on 40 minutes when he confidently struck home his seventh of the season.
With Sun looking in complete control, Bedmond put the match back in the balance on 50 minutes when Atkins latched on to a raking pass from Mark Campion and struck a rising ball emphatically past Andy Hopping.
The Toms Lane side, buoyed by their lifeline, had Sun on the rack, and came within a whisker of drawing level but James Stratton was denied by a wonderful reflex save by Hopping.
Against the run of play, Sun then scored their third when Jay Greenaway ghosted in behind Tony Masters and expertly rounded the keeper for his second of the season.
Sun, with a game in hand, remain two clear points clear of their nearest rivals Oxhey Jets.
