​BEDWORTH UNITED 1 v BIGGLESWADE TOWN 4 ​Report by Mike Draxler

​Solomon Nwaboukei that is. After yesterday's performance he certainly deserves the accolade of man of the match. All over the park, Sol was there tackling back, creating forward, his quick feet getting him through impossible situations. Topping off with a brilliant goal aided by Shaun Lucien.

​These are "must win" games and the boys in changed kit of orange certainly produced the magical goods for the first 45. Harry Draper now fitting into the team game gave notice early with a snap header just wide. Sean Lucien at his irrepressible best provided the cross for the first goal on 16 as the ball eluded Draper and found Liam Brooks at the far post for a simple tap in. 4 minutes on and Nwaboukei dancing down the right wing found Kieron Forbes for the captain to double the lead. The Waders were very much in control as the close, fast football continued. 33 and Nwaboukei got on the end of a ball lifted over the defence by Lucien to make the game look won even at this early stage. Bedworth did not offer much upfront but a loose ball in time added on at the end of the first half found the home 9 Levi Rowley firing in from close range, to make it 3-1 at the turn round.

​With such a lead Biggleswade unintentionally and unknowingly took the foot of the gas and were happy to contain, with chances being created but not taken. 20 into the second period Harry Draper got a fourth, to wrap up the game in style. At the other end Sam Donkin was rarely troubled, just a late free kick wide of the mark. A thoroughly convincing performance and the team getting back to their best at the right time of the season. A play off place? Very possible with the fixtures left. With only one reversal needed by Stratford and to win the last 3 games will see Biggleswade sneak into the final play-off place. On this form a very real opportunity.

Next up Halesowen at the Langford Road, Saturday kick off 1500, come support the boys in the final push.
