Match summary - South Park (h)

A single goal was enough to seal all three points against visiting South Park, writes James Barrett.

Team news: The pre-match talk surrounded the return of Robins goalkeeping legend Stuart Searle whom came out of retirement to help us as Alex Kozakis was injured and the on-loan Billy Bishop was suddenly recalled back by parent club Hampton and Richmond Borough. Paris Hamilton-Downes also returned to skipper the side, while youngsters Harrison Street, Jack Minchin and Dominique Bongo were named on the bench.

It was end-to-end stuff for the first 15 minutes as both sides created many half-chances but the only goal of the game came on 22 minutes - Tommy Bradford buried a 20 yard free kick high to keeper James Wastell's right for his 15th of the season.

Wastell had to come off injured not long after but, despite an outfield player having to go between the sticks for the visitors, we failed to add to our advantage.

At the other end, Searle was called into action a couple of times during the 90 minutes and you can read an interview with him about the whole experience here (it's within the November tab).
