Saffron Walden 0, Diss Town 3

Diss continued their promotion push with a third successive 3-0 win.

Saffron Walden are a difficult team to beat at Catons Lane so The Tangerines will regard this as a top-quality win.

The hosts started the game well and forced Matty Webster, back in the Diss team after missing the last five games due to injury, saved a Brad Green shot and a Joe Murphy header.

Stefan Gilding was influential at both ends of the field. He made a perfectly-timed tackle in defence just as Graeme Turner seemed set to shoot and score. He scored his first Diss goal a minute before half-time when he headed in at a long throw in from George Watts-Sturrock.

The home side's task became even more difficult when Green was sent off in first half added time for kicking the ball at referee James Pope following a free kick award.

Webster did well to tip a header from Jamie Solkhon on to the bar but Diss had more of the second half attacking play. In the 84th minute a fine low cross from Jason Cole found Jordan Rocastle. He took the ball in his stride and turned and beat a defender before shooting in from ten yards out for his 19th goal of the season.

Two minutes from time Danny partridge was knocked to the floor by goalkeeper Ronnie Yates and a penalty was awarded. Stuart Garner stepped forward to shoot in to make the final score 3-0.
