Crawley Town kept in touch with the top six in the premier division with a 3-0 win at Grantham Town.

The Reds went in front on 24 minutes when skipper Peter Fear lost his marker and delivered a low cross to the far post where youngster Shaheen Sadough turned it home for a debut goal.

Ten minutes before half time the Reds had a scare. Marc Pullan was penalised for preventing Grantham's Gary Bull from jumping in the penalty area. Referee Mr Dewfield judged it an indirect free kick and Crawley defended it well.

Grantham goalkeeper Mario Ziccardi made two good saves early in the second half to deny Nigel Brake and Danny Hockton.

Ziccardi turned villain for Grantham after 78 minutes. He raced out to challenge Hockton, who won the ball and delivered a cross. Defender Darren Dye cleared the immediate danger but Fear returned it into the empty net from 30 yards.

Brake wrapped up the points in the last minute when he ran more than half the length of the pitch before calmly stroking the ball into the net.
