Carshalton Athletic racked up another three points on their travels as they beat struggling Three Bridges 4-1, writes James Barrett.
The Robins shrugged off the disappointing defeat against promotion rivals Corinthian Casuals last Monday by registering a seventh away league win via goals scored by three defenders and the in-form Tommy Bradford.
It was an even opening to the game at Jubilee Field as Three Bridges, currently rooted second-bottom in the Ryman South, no doubt would've wanted to keep it tight at the back against opposition that had scored 52 league goals before kick-off.
But Carshalton centre back Kalvin Morath-Gibbs broke the deadlock with a deflected long-range strike - his first goal for the club - in the 22nd minute.
They held that lead going into half-time and Ricardo Panton was then introduced for Jahmahl King at the start of the second-half - it was the full back's first appearance since mid-September and he capped his return with The Robins' second on 55 minutes.
And it was another defender that put the game to bed as a contest just after the hour as Bobby Price continued his recent good form by grabbing his fourth of a productive season.
Substitute Ned Pierre headed a consolation for Bridges with six minutes to go but, just two minutes later, Carshalton were awarded a 25-yard free kick and Tommy Bradford stepped up to bang home his 18th of the season.
Carshalton Athletic next host Tooting and Mitcham United in the Surrey Senior Cup on Monday 12th December (kick-off 7.45pm).
