Dereham registered their second successive Premier A Division win as they beat lowly Havering 4-2 at home on Saturday.

Mark Hunter opened the scoring for the hosts with a drag flick from a short corner. Dereham remained in control but failed to add to their tally and Havering drew level before half-time.

After the break, Ric Timm had a shot stopped illegally on the line and Hunter calmly despatched the resulting penalty stroke.

Michael Timm extended Dereham's lead when he latched on to Mark Braybrook's through ball to score. Havering hit back immediately to set up a potentially nervy finish, but the Timm brothers combined to make it safe for Dereham, with Michael applying the finish for Dereham's fourth.
