Sun Sports 4 Bushey Rangers 2                         Herts County League   Prem              2002/03

Sun set to rise but can they take the title as well?

Sun Postal celebrated the news that they are virtually assured of South Midlands League football next season by collecting four points in their title quest this week.
with the extensive refurbishment at their Bellmount Wood Avenue ground set to run beyond schedule into next season.
Sun's adopted home of Woodside Stadium was given the green light - on the proviso that the pitch is lengthened and widened - after being "ground graded" by the league inspectors on Saturday morning.
Given the fact that Oxhey Jets have declined the option to apply for promotion, Sun would need to finish in the top two to ensure they progress through the County League ceiling.
However, Sun manager Terry Hows has his sights firmly set on claiming the title and saw his side, minus top scorer Richie Johnson and Mark Congalton, display their title credentials and move nine points clear with a 4-2 win over Bushey Rangers on Wednesday night that owed much to a clinical first half display.
Hows' side, with Ben Cowen making a welcome start after a 13 month injury lay-off, stormed into a three goal lead at the break with an own goal, that came after a typically rampaging run from Paul Haynes, Andy Mills, who drove home from just inside the box and a far post header from Neil Fraser.
To their credit, Bushey, ravaged by the absence of seven first team players, refused to lie down and pulled one back on the hour mark when Ben Weaver delightfully lobbed Andy Hopping.
But Sun made the game safe when Haynes slammed home after being teed up by Mills.
Rangers again hit back when Rob Turner came off the bench to flick home a centre from Darren Glennister.
But Sun were worthy winners, and should have extended their lead through Haynes, who saw an effort cleared off the line and a stunning free kick brilliantly repelled by Bushey keeper Will Worth.
