London Lions 1 Sun Postal Sports 2                  Herts County League   Prem          2002/03

With a first league title in nine years within sight, league leaders Sun Postal are slowly beginning to feel the heat after they limped to a nerve jangling win over London Lions on Saturday.
"We didn't play well but it's points that matter at this stage of the season," admitted Sun manager Terry Hows.
Hows was, however, delighted with the enterprising start his side made to the game, but was left perplexed as to why they pressed the self-destruct button after falling behind against the run of play on 15 minutes.
In fact, they were lucky not to have been out of sight by half time.
The manager and his trusty assistant Steve Pattison earned their salt at half time with an inspirational team talk, and although Sun were far from at their vintage best in the second period, they did just enough to wrest the points.
The visitors took just ten minutes of the second half to restore parity when ben Cowen took a further step towards ending his injury nightmare with a clinical strike into the bottom corner from 12 yards.
Neil Fraser should have headed Sun in front almost immediately but he somehow hit the bar from five yards out, but Robert Coldrake made no mistake 15 minutes from time when he rose majestically at the far post to power home a trademark header for the winner.
