ROYSTON Town remain within touching distance of the summit of South Midlands Division One after this narrow victory over Cranfield at Garden walk on Saturday.
This victory leaves the Crows third in the table and growing in stature and confidence under manager Paul Attfield.

But the Crows stuck rigidly to their task with the lively Craig Hammond giving the Cranfield defence numerous problems.
