Shirley Park took a big step towards promotion with a hard fought 3-2 win over fellow high-fliers UJIA at Chase Lodge.

Dan Beckwith, Stefan Benfredj and Gideon Gold were the goal men for Dave Lusman's men.

UJIA's goals came through Asi Avital and Paul Shamplina.

A delighted Lusman told JC Sport: "It was a great first half performance from the Park contingent with excellent passages of play throughout.

"We showed great character after going one down form some shabby defending to finish the half 3-1 up.

"We took are foot of the gas with a view of shutting up shop in the second half. Our football suffered and our second half display was pretty average but we stuck to the plan.

"On the flipside it gave UJIA a chance to press and that they did pulling one back to make it 3-2 by the final whistle.

"All in all a close encounter but a much deserved victory for Park."
