LAFLIN ALL THE WAY TO THE TITLE

Late Strike takes the Yellas seven clear

- Robin Jones

LEADERS Ascot United moved seven points clear at the top with a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Abbey Rangers.The game was one of only two in the top flight to survive the weather and, as Abbey’s grass pitch was left unplayable following the deluge of Storm Jorge, the club agreed with both Ascot and the league to move the fixture to the adjacent 3G pitch.

The hosts took the lead in the 13th minute when winger Kery Kedze rounded off a well-worked move.
