Fading, ageing champions GSK Sports? Not on your life. They suddenly ended L&S Athletic's outside title hopes 3-1 at Dominion Way with a display to answer recent defeats to L&S in league and two cups, which had encouraged many to write off GSK.

Three goals from their FA Cup and Vase veterans Nigel Waller (two) and elder brother Graham Waller, to a reply from Andy Bartlett left L&S rueing the absence of suspended midfield inspiration Andy Bainbridge.

"We wanted it, for the first time," commented GSK keeper Steve Waller (the eldest brother). "After being champions with a 100% record, maybe we were probably expecting it to be easy and we didn't prepare ourselves properly, mentally, this season."
