Grays 3-1 Salisbury

Andy Pugh scored a brace as relegation-threatened Grays grabbed three vital points against Salisbury on Saturday.

The on-loan striker headed home Barry Cogan's corner from close range after 11 minutes to put the hosts ahead.

Salisbury fought back but Pugh doubled the lead from the edge of the box after a fine pass by Stuart Thurgood.

Pugh then turned provider, setting up Jamie Taylor, before being forced off with injury, with Salisbury's Charles Ademeno poking in a consolation goal.
