JAMES Lemon scored a brace as Drotiwich Spa reignited their title challenge with a dominant 3-0 victory against Cirencester Town.
Lemon struck either side of the break after Perry Moss put the home side ahead at the King George Playing Fields.

Spa survived a scare on the quarter-hour mark when goalkeeper Joe Stockton brought down Harlie Price with the Cirencester player through on goal.
The referee opted against showing Stockton a red card and brandished a yellow card in the goalkeeper’s direction who saved the resulting free-kick.
And Droitwich broke the deadlock against the run of play on 18 minutes as Moss finished from close range to put the Saltmen in front.
Spa doubled their lead five minutes later when Lemon found the net following a scramble in the box.
Lemon doubled his tally for the game after the break on 55 minutes when he prodded home from close range following some pinball in the penalty area.

Droitwich are next in action against Highworth Town on Saturday, March 21 with kick-off at 3pm at the King George Playing Fields.
