LONDON Colney continued their good form with a 3-0 win at ninth-placed Cranfield United.
The game was a real end to end affair with Greg Shaw firing wide and Ian Cooper having a shot blocked while at the other end Stuart Reynolds was off target with only Alistair Hill to beat.
A long throw in from Cranfield's Matt Quinn found Paul Stokes at the near post but his header went just over the bar.
The Blueboys broke the deadlock in the 34th minute when Russell Gallagher played a simple ball to Ian Cooper, who held off the challenges of the defenders to fire past Paul Warnecki.
