Match summary - Three Bridges (a)

We racked up another three points on our travels as we left Jubilee Field 4-1 victors, writes James Barrett.



Warming up: defender Ricardo Panton
Team news: We named the same starting eleven that began Monday's game, while Ricardo Panton was back in the squad after a long absence. Ex-Robin Hakeem Adelakun lined up for our hosts.

And, in comparison to most of this season so far, three of our four goals were registered by defenders with our opener arriving courtesy of Kalvin Morath-Gibbs' deflected long-ranger on 22 minutes - his first goal for the club.


Catalyst: Morath-Gibbs got our first
We held that lead going into half-time and Panton was then introduced for Jahmahl King for his first appearance since mid-September, and he capped his return with our second on 55 minutes.

Bobby Price continued his recent good form during this one and he grabbed his fourth of a productive season just after the hour to end the game as a contest.

Our hosts did pull one back with six minutes to go but Tommy Bradford banged in his third free kick of recent times on 86 minutes to cap a good day's work.
