LONDON Colney continued their good form with a 3-0 win at ninth-placed Cranfield United.

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.
