A Brad Hickman hat trick ensured that Haverhill leapfrogged four places up the table and took their opponents' 13th place away from them as a result.

His first goal came with the first shot of the match after 7 minutes, Marcus Hunt nodding on a cross from the right bye line by Scott Wilby and Hickman tapping the ball over the line, goalkeeper James Waters unable to stop the ball going into the net as he fell backwards.

Hickman grabbed his second five minutes after the break after a through ball by Harper, Hickman ending his run forward with a solid finish across Waters and into the far bottom right corner..

The hat trick was complete in the 67th minute after Harper once again released him, Hickman this time cutting inside the defender before his 20 yard effort bounced over Waters' outstretched hand and into the same corner.
