TOBY Blanche was the two-goal hero as STANWAY ROVERS ran out 2-1 winners at home to Hullbridge Sports, in the Essex Senior League.
The striker slotted home from the penalty spot before doubling his side’s lead.
Hullbridge pulled one back thanks to a spectacular long-range effort but the hosts held on for three valuable points at The Hawthorns.
It was the first match since former boss Angelo Harrop has returned to the club as Director of Football.
