Ade Oyinlola, Daniel Armstrong and Declan Crummy scored the goals in a 3-2 victory over Phoenix Res.
Elsewhere in Division Two Herts Lions played a double-header against Royston Rangers, winning 2-1 and 3-1. Ilias Bakhti and Youness Bakhti scored in the first match with Finbar King (two) and Bachir Loussahi on target in game two.

In the Herts Ad Challenge Cup a tight game between AFC London Road and Blackberry Jacks was eventually won 4-3 by the former after extra-time. James Todd got the winner with his third of the day while Alex English got the other. Jacks’ scorers were Bradley Harrison, Garvin Watson and Antony Burns.
Skew Bridge eventually turned it on against Brookmans Park in the Herts Ad Knockout Cup as they clinched a 5-0 win. Ben Warren and James Elliott got two each and there was one for Stuart Brown although Park will point to two handball decisions that didn’t go their way as the turning point.
Adam Davies was their man of the match.
Welwyn Warriors Res made it through to the final of the Herts Ad Junior Cup with a battling 3-2 win over Hatfield Mosquito.
It was 1-1 at half-time as a Chris Draddy penalty cancelled out an early Mosquito goal but the second half was mostly one-way traffic and Warriors went ahead when Steven Mee set up Josh Jordan.
Warriors even had the luxury of a penalty miss while they also hit both the crossbar and post before Mee gave them breathing space.
And despite a late goal from Hatfield, Welwyn were able to hang on to the win.
n A statement from the Herts Advertiser Sunday Football League confirmed that they are adhering to the FA’s directive suspending all grassroots football.
They added: “As you can appreciate we have no idea when this situation will change but we will keep you informed of any future developments.”
