MALDON and Tiptree maintained their ten-point lead at the top of Ryman One North after winning 2-0 at Chatham.
Chris Bryan and Michael Toner scored their goals to make it 12 league wins in a row for Terry Spillane's side.
The result will have been a real tonic for the Maldon boss, who had to miss the game through illness.
