Free-scoring Dereham Town continued their recent resurgence and eased their relegation fears with an impressive 5-2 win at home to Barking.

The Magpies got their noses in front in the fifth minute thanks to Ryan Crisp's smart finish and the striker was denied a second shortly after thanks to a fine save by Barking keeper Tim Brown.

The visitors almost got back on level terms but Nana Boakye-Yiadom saw his effort come off the crossbar in the 34th minute. It was the let-off Dereham needed and five minutes before the break Adam Hipperson struck a superb volley to make it 2-0.

Joe Gatting made it 3-0 early in the second half but Barking pulled one back through Boakye-Yiadom. Gatting then grabbed his second of the afternoon before Dereham made it 5-1 thanks to Rhys Logan's excellent finish. Barking pulled one back late on through Joseph Oluwatibi.
