The A4G pitch at The Rock in Priory Lane ensured this game was never in doubt despite the freeze, and the good-sized crowd who braved the bitter cold were rewarded with a terrific contest between the sides sitting fourth and fifth in National League One.

A fine second half performance from Blackheath giving them to back-to-back home wins to maintain fifth place in National League One prior to the Christmas break, but kept honest by a Stortford side who never gave up and pushed hard to the end. On a damp, blustery December afternoon, Tom Ffitch gave Blackheath a three-point start for not rolling, but …
