CHIPPENHAM consolidated their place at the top of the Premier Division with a 10th away win of the campaign.

The Bluebirds remain three-points clear of Bedford after a 2-0 win at Grantham.

Steve White's team took a sixth-minute lead after weathering some early pressure.

Mark Badman and James Constable took the home defence apart with a slick interchange which sent Sammy Allison clear and he dinked an effort over the advancing Grantham keeper.

Allison went closest to extending the lead, shooting over before another effort was deflected onto a post by Mario Ziccardi.

Allison turned provider for a late second which secured three points.

The forward got in behind Grantham's rearguard and squared for Dave Gilroy to slot home.

Cirencester lost ground in the pursuit of Chippenham following a 3-1 defeat at King's Lynn.

Mark Angel put the home team ahead on 10 minutes with a free-kick from the edge of the area.

Jack Defty extended that advantage on 20 before the Centurions got back into the game when Jody Bevan took advantage of defensive hesitancy to make it 2-1.

Ciren pressed hard for an equaliser in the second half, but another Angel free-kick was pushed onto the bar by Mark Bryant and Danny Hammond hammered home the rebound.
