They’re now two points behind Dartford with two games in hand.

Bradbury lauded the character his side displayed and reckons the Hawks have the league leaders ‘looking over their shoulder.’

‘It was a big win for us,’ said the Westleigh Park manager.

‘We had to show good character to come from behind.

‘They went down to 10 men early on and it meant we had to work hard to break them down.

‘We changed shape at half-time, which caused them problems.

‘We kept chipping away and once we got a goal back it was only matter of time before we got the winner.

‘The boys were very patient and hard working – and now Dartford are looking over their shoulder.’
