LONDON Colney collected their first win of the season in Division One as they hit four against New Bradwell St Peter on Saturday.

Davey went close to a second and Danslow fired over the top while at the other end Colney goalkeeper Anthony Ladyman made a good save.
Davey narrowly missed with a fine lob early in the second half and Ladyman denied Mark Kalek with a fine stop.

In the 59th minute Sam Mitchell made it 2-0 when he prodded the ball over the line from a nice neat pass by Greg Shaw.
Ladyman made two saves to keep Colney in command and Lee Benning arrowed in a fine shot which was well stopped by Abson.
New Bradwell pulled a goal back with 16 minutes left when Paul Stokes scored with a brilliant diving header following a fine Ed Wheatley cross.

Mitchell and Cain Davey worked the ball to Jermaine Davey who drilled a fine shot home for 3-1.
The best goal of the game was saved to last as debutant Josh Humbert who had only been on the pitch for a minute curled a beautiful shot into the top corner after Lee Benning and Cain Davey had set up the shooting chance.
