CHRISTCHURCH made light of the fact they are without a manager as they earned a 3-1 Sydenhams Premier Division success over Alton Town.

Despite falling behind, Reza Sotoudeh, Dan Crutchley and Lloyd Jenvey scored the goals as director of football Mick Ryan and former joint boss Tony Brown took charge in the dugout following Gary Parrett's weekend resignation.

Brown said: "It was a very hard-working performance and a deserved victory."
