GROVES HERO AS DROP IS AVOIDED

SOHAM produced perhaps their gutsiest performance of the season when it mattered most as they avoided relegation.

With their survival hopes in the balance, Rangers opened the scoring through Sam Mulready but Maldon equalised almost instantly through Joshua Pollard.

Kieran Bailey then rifled in to give the visitors the lead after the break and although Lloyd Groves equalised, Sam Newson put the Jammers – who had already secured a play-off spot – 3-2 ahead.

But Soham showed resilience at the death to win the game in the final five minutes as first Mulready grabbed his second before Lloyd Groves was the hero two minutes from time to secure survival.
