How Higham must hate playing Sleaford! The Lincolnshire side scored six in both of last season's matches but went two better this time at Cranwell. Lee Llewellyn opened the scoring ten minutes in from a right wing cross by Jamie Shaw and the visitors soon received two further body blows as Matt Lunn netted for the home side from a Shaw pass after 16 minutes with Shaw adding an 18th minute third with Lunn the provider this time. The outcome was sealed by three goals in four minutes early in the second half. Jon Machin put his name on the scoresheet after 49 minutes, converting a Jason Sedlan corner, before goals after 50 and 53 minutes completed Shaw's hat trick and took him to 16 goals for the season. Lunn set up the striker's second and Sedlan the hat trick goal. Lunn scored his second after 67 minutes, volleying in Sedland's free kick with Carl Sedlan having the last word ten minutes from time, running from the halfway line to fire home.
