HIGHBRIDGE Town extended their lead at the top of the league by five points with a thumping win over Locomotives.

Locomotives made the brighter start with Highbridge having to dig their heels in and weather the storm.

As the half went on, Highbridge took control of the game and were 1-0 thanks to a classy finish from Stuart Carter.

Highbridge sensed more and got their second shortly before half time.

Defender Stuart Green picked up the ball from outside the 18-yard box, dinked his way past three players and coolly slotted it past the advancing goalkeeper to double Highbridge's advantage.

It was as you were in the second half as Highbridge strode forward to put the game to bed.

Will Conway was forced off with a knock as was replaced by Ben King. The third goal came from the penalty spot after a Locomotives defender brought down Stuart Carter in the box.

Wayne Hand dispatched the penalty and put his side 3-0 up.

Pete Thompson replaced Carter as Highbridge searched for a fourth goal and it eventually came following a mêlée outside the area.

The ball fell to Will Bailey, who shot past the goalkeeper to round off the scoring.

Highbridge Town are away to Staplegrove on Saturday.

Highbridge Town team: Steve Bailey, Stuart Green, Dan Saunders, Russell Holley, John Keer, Will Bailey, Jason Hicks, Ricky Cook, Will Conway, Wayne Hand, Stuart Carter.

Subs: Pete Thompson, Ben King, Steve Wills.
