Wells Town, one of only two teams in the whole of the Anglian Combination still unbeaten, remain six points clear of Wymondham at the top of Division One with a game in hand after an impressive win at Bradenham Wanderers at the weekend.
The Seasiders on Saturday entertain a Sprowston Athletic side eight places below them, kick-off 2pm at Beach Road.
Bradenham Wanderers 1, Wells Town 2
THE Seasiders travelled to Hale Road to face an improving Bulldogs side who had won their last four matches with some good displays.
Wells knew they were going to be put to the test if they were to return with points in the bag.
Wells Town forced several first-half corners as they searched for a breakthrough, which arrived after 30 minutes play.
From a Campbell flag-kick, Grocott, unmarked, powered his header past Butters.
