After the break It was Luc Doherty that increased Heath lead with an even better strike than his first that flew into the top corner on 47 minutes.

CDG showed why they have one of the best scoring records in the league as their never say die attitude got them level almost straight away. A direct free kick by Daniel Sullivan was too hot for Josh James as it ended up in the back of the net.

With 20 minutes remaining a good flowing move saw the ball arrive at Max Miller's feet and he struck a firm strike past the keeper.

CDG were not done and again pressed forward to get back into the game, they won a corner with 10 minutes remaining and it was headed in from close range by Pelling.

With tired legs showing after 120 minutes on Tuesday Heath dug in deep and held out for that important win.
