Grantham Town recorded their first league since the beginning of September on Saturday, defeating Witton Albion 2-0 on the road.
Joint manager Wayne Hallcro said he thought the midfield three were key to the Gingerbreads’ success at Witton.
He said: “We thought a performance and result like Saturday was coming somewhere. We had played well without getting anything for a few games, so it was really a matter of time in our view.
“It clicked at Witton and it was good for it to happen against a top side. We’ve been on the receiving end in the same situation as them, so we know how it feels.”
Hallcro said they would not rest on their laurels as they take on Blyth Spartans at The Meres tomorrow.
He said: “Every team and game has to be taken on its merits. Just because something worked away at one team does not mean it will automatically work for us against a different side at home.”
Kick-off tomorrow is 3pm.
