Heath remain five points behind Shoreham after a dominant performance bagged the three points at Hanbury today.

With the wind behind them in the first half Heath controlled possession and kept the ball in the Wick half but it took 30 minutes to breakdown the rear guard of Wick with a flowing move that saw Callum Saunders deliver the ball from the left and Trevor McCreadie met it perfectly inside the six yard box to volley the ball into the net.
