Sun Postal Sports 2 Sandridge Rovers 3 Herts County League Prem 2002/03
Sun Postal's title bid finally came off the rails on Saturday when they crashed to defeat at home to Sandridge Rovers in their last game before progressing through the County League ceiling to the South Midlands League.
The pressure appears to have got to terry Hows' side who, with the title seemingly in their grasp, have faltered badly, winning just five of their last ten games.
The latest setback virtually handed Jets the title on a plate.
Sun had looked in control after a rampaging 50 yard run and finish from the outstanding Paul Haynes plus a Neil Fraser strike that arrowed into the top corner had put them on the cusp of their 22nd victory of the season.
But they pressed the self destruct button once more, shipping in two goals in the space of ten minutes before conceding a kamikaze style winner that arrived on the counter attack with the last kick of the game after Sun had committed ten men, including keeper Andy Hopping to a corner.
Although promotion to the South Midlands League next season will come as a consolation for Sun.
Celebrations would have been understandably muted for a side who look set to miss out on the title for the second successive season.
