A Brad Martin brace seals a win against burnham

Burnham visited saw mills, hoping to reverse their fortunes in the league to date and pick up their first win of the season.

It was Burnham who started brighter and deservedly took the lead as Dan Wilson was allowed a free from a corner, His header looped into the top corner.

Longlevens pulled themselves level shortly after, when Brad Martin was quickest to react to poke home as the keeper spilt the ball inside the six yard box

Levens lost full back Craig Beaton through injury late in the second half.

The second half followed the first as level were generally sloppy in possessions and Burnham continued to pose a threat going forward, however it was Martin who came to the home sides rescue when in the 75th minute he rounded the keeper and with defender scrambling back to the line finished well into the bottom corner.

Levens manager Mark Moore reflected by saying; "we were nowhere near out best today, if we are like it on Wednesday we will be embarrassed. However there are no easy games at this level and a win is a win which gets some momentum going for us"
