GOALS from Tyree Clarke and Demetri Brown kept Tividale's promotion bandwagon rolling at Pegasus Juniors.

Tividale came away with a 2-1 success last Saturday after being forced to battle against their third-from-bottom opponents.

Brown's 75th minute winner keeps them third and sets them up nicely for this Saturday's crunch clash at home to second-placed Malvern Town (3pm kick-off).

Manager Dave King was pleased to take the points from a game that also saw young keeper Lewis Handley step up after usual number one Ryan Cheshire fell ill.

He said: "It was a close game and they made it difficult for us.

"They were defensive with five at the back and we did struggle to break them down.

"We hadn't played for a few weeks so it was just pleasing to get the win.

"Lewis Handley did really well in goal for us and made a wonder save in the last minute to make sure we came away with all three points.

"Malvern will be a big game. They have brought some big players in to try and win the league and we'll have to be at our very best."
