Halas Hawks 0-3 Sutton Coldfield Town Royals

Sutton returned to the top of the table after eventually overcoming a spirited Halas side in the second-half

On a heavy pitch Sutton played up the slope in the first-half and created several good chances early on but were unable to make the breakthrough

The slope and small pitch allowed Halas to make inroads into the Sutton half, but a confident display by Cresswell in goal kept the score goalless at half-time

Sutton came flying out of the blocks in the second-half and were rewarded in the first minute when hard work form Davis allowed Hyland to calmly slot home from close range

Halas remained a threat and used the long-ball effectively to peg Sutton back

Eventually the Royals superior fitness came through and extra bodies in the penalty box allowed George to extend the lead on 66 minutes
Sutton saved the best until late on when, after great control by George, Williams hit an unstoppable half-volley past the keeper from distance

Player-of-the-match was Abbie Hyland, who was a constant threat out wide
