Hicham Akhazzan scored twice for the second successive game as Sittingbourne contiued their fine form with a convincing win at Merstham.

Centre back Nick Reeves had twice gone close and Matt Bourne had headed over when Jimmy Bottle's cross found Akhazzan to head in the opening goal after 26 minutes.

It was 2-0 five minutes before the break when Akhazzan received a pass from Joe Dowley and steered the ball into the far corner for his 11th goal of the campaign.

Merstham keeper Ian Chestfield foiled his attempts at a hat-trick before Elie Kayembe sealed the win a minute from time.

The only downside for Brickies boss Gary Abbott, pictured, was an injury to defender Femi Omogbehin which forced him off 20 minutes from time.
