However, Jez Bedford was not involved at Five Heads Park.

The first-year professionals played for the Hawks in last weekend’s 5-2 loss against Sutton United.

Widdrington again lined up for the Westleigh Park outfit and stamped his mark.

The 18-year-old’s searching cross-field pass led to Lee Bradbury’s side’s opener on 20 minutes before he scored a thunderbolt seven minutes before half-time.
