Jamie Howell’s men went into the encounter having picked up four league wins from five outings and as a result had dragged themselves from second bottom of the table to 13th going in to the match. But the visitors slipped back down the league to 16th because of the defeat, while the home side climbed to second behind leaders Leatherhead.

Howell fielded an unchanged starting line-up from the team that won 2-0 last week against Kingstonian at Chichester City’s Oaklands Park. But defensive kingpin Tommy Block was forced off after 39 minutes and was replaced by Harvey Whyte.

Kiye Martin gave Westfield the lead on five minutes with an incredible volley that went in off the bar at Woking Park and the hosts doubled their advantage on 19 minutes thanks to Didi Ndombe’s strike. Dan Lincoln initially made a fantastic save to block a shot but the livewire attacker was first to the rebound and took his chance well. And it was Ndombe at the double to make it 3-0 on the hour mark as he cashed in on some calamitous defending.
