Ollie Pearce, Jack Spong (2) and Brad Dolaghan were the scorers – with Dolaghan scoring for the fourth game in a row – as the Rebels did their promotion chances the world of good in Hertfordshire.

The fourth goal was their 100th of the league campaign – and the next highest scorers in the division are Slough, with 80.

They’re now third – though only level on points with fourth-placed Braintree and a point ahead of Maidstone, in fifth – and if they finish third they will go straight into a home play-off semi-final, rather than have to play an extra knockout game to get that far.

Their final regular league game is at home to Weston next Saturday.
