Worcester City took a giant step towards securing their Blue Square South future with a vital victory at Staines Town.

Alfie Carter scored the all-important goal after 17 minutes but few could argue City were good value for the win.

Worcester goalkeeper Jake Meredith was hardly tested by a Staines side the is chasing a play-off spot.

The home side's misery was completed when Ali Chaaban was sent off in the second half after a second yellow card.

Worcester City manager Carl Heeley told BBC Hereford & Worcester:
"Away from home against a side that is third in the league you are not going to get loads of chances.

"But we looked a threat and the chance that we did have we stuck it away.

"Other than a 25-yard drive in the first half that Jake [Meredith] gathered at the second attempt I can't remember them having another chance."
