Sun Postal Sports 2 Oxhey Jets 0                 Herts County League    Prem                  2002/03

Sun Postal marked a debut appearance at their adopted home ground of Woodside Stadium with a gutsy 2-0 win over reigning champions Oxhey Jets that moved them back to the summit.
Sun's first win over in-form Jets in four attempts was made even more astounding after Robert Coldrake, their inspirational centre half, was dismissed on 40 minutes for an over zealous challenge on Warren Gladdy.
By the time Coldrake had been given his marching orders, Sun, having weathered an early 25 minute storm from the visitors, had a one goal lead to protect given to them by a cool finish from Richie Johnson, who cleverly lobbed Dave Green after Chris Harding had slipped.
Even the belated introduction of Gary page, who had arrived at half time, failed to spark Jets into life as they failed to create a single chance of note in the remainder of the match.
Sun, with their backs to the wall for large parts, almost doubled their lead when a stinging drive from Paul Haynes was tipped over by Green.
A miserable afternoon was compounded for the visitors when defender Lee Addinall, under pressure from the tireless Johnson, deflected a hopeful through ball past Green for the decisive second with two minutes remaining.
However, Terry Hows, the Sun manager, refused to be swept away by an unbeaten run of seven matches that has carried his side to the top of the table, two points clear of Sandridge Rovers.
"There is a long way to go," said Hows, who is without the suspended Paul Haynes tomorrow (Saturday) but is boosted by the return of Chris Eldridge.
"We are going well but no one is getting carried away".
"Nothing really went right for us," bemoaned Jets general manager John Elliott.
"The goal came against the run of play, but after that we never looked like scoring and, over the 90 minutes, they deserved it."
