UNITED 3 Lawes, Barby

Keene

At the end of the Hellenic League's Easter Groundhop, there was a crowd of 231 at Bobby Hancocks Park on Monday to see Southam United record back-toback home wins with a comfortable 3-1 victory over Littleton, completing a league double over the visitors.

Southam had won 4-0 when the two sides met at Littleton in September and looked to be on course for a repeat when Jay Lawes put them in control with two first half goals that took his seasonal tally to double figures.

When leading scorer Simon Barby added a third, it looked plain sailing for the home side, but Littleton, who have won just twice this season, pulled one back when Connor Keene scored from the penalty spot to close the gap.

On Friday, Southam fought back from an early goal down to draw 1-1 at Calne Town, the match having kicked off 30 minutes late due to traffic problems on the way to Wiltshire.

Calne got off to a flyer when Asher Jones, with his first goal for the club, gave them a third minute lead, but after the break, Jay Lawes set up Shane Osborne for his tenth of the season to claim a point.

Southam have just four more Hellenic matches left, and play the first of them when they visit Cheltenham Saracens on Thursday, before hosting Calne Town at Bobby Hancocks Park on Saturday, kick off at 3pm.

Attendance: 231
