Blackbird flies in to confirm win

They emerged 2-0 victors at Moulton Harrox thanks to a 28th-minute strike from Archie Rickards and another from Adam Blackbird with ten minutes to go.

Victory keeps the Crows on target for a trophy treble.

Long Sutton Athletic doubled their wins total for the season with a 2-1 triumph over Park Farm Pumas in Division One. Jack Greenacre was their hero with a brace.
The three-point haul moved them to within a point of second-bottom Whittlesey Athletic Development and was their first league win since September, ending a run of seven consecutive defeats.
