Cradley Town 0 Studley 3
STUDLEY hitman Craig Pountney furthered his Golden Boot claims with a brace inside the first nine minutes against dismal Cradley.
The pint-sized striker scored from the spot after being hauled down by Town keeper Tim Beech in the fifth minute and added a second four minutes later after Cradley defender Neil Dudley sliced an attempted clearance to him in the area.
Mark Crisp added a third in the 31st minute, scoring from close range after Beech failed to hang on to a Peter Sutton drive.
By that stage Pountney could have completed a hat-trick.
Danny Lewis had to be alert to save from veteran strikers Albert Johnson and Calvin Guest as the Bees switched off after the break and Richard Kavanagh should have done better at the other end from an inviting Pountney centre.
Andrew Johnson and sub Rob Powell missed chances late on as Mark Chambers' side cantered to a straightforward win.
