A penalty brace from Jack King lifted Didcot Town’s Division 1 South & West play-off bid with this victory.

John later saw his free-kick crash back of the bar.

After the break, Michael Watkins made a good save from Chris Fermie.

Andy Williams saw his header hacked off the line.

King doubled Didcot’s lead with his second spot-kick after substitute Michael Bartley was pulled back by Dean Harper, King firing in the resultant spot-kick.
