Rams moved sixth in Ryman League, Division South, one of five clubs on nine points.

Boss Jim Ward said: “It’s not only Joe’s goals that are impressing me, it’s his work rate and application.

“He was up against two experienced centre halves in Craig Cloke and Nick Reeves on Monday and ran them ragged.”
