Witham Town
St Albans City
St Albans City took control early, with Zak Sowden-Fletcher slotting home inside four minutes to settle any nerves against lower-league opposition. The visitors then sat on their lead through a quiet middle period before exploding into life in the closing stages, scoring twice in the space of a minute to turn a narrow advantage into a comprehensive victory. Inih Effiong and Jake Gray were the architects of that late surge, punishing a tiring Witham Town side who had nothing left to offer defensively.
