Leverstock were down to 10 men for the whole of the second half, and Vipond admitted he was left a little frustrated as his side failed to turn the numerical advantage into more goals.
“I didn’t think we were in any danger of losing the game, and we probably looked like we were always winning it,” said Vipond.

“It was a little bit flat and we missed a hatful of chances early on which was disappointing.
“It’s difficult to be too critical, though, because we won the game, kept a clean sheet and scored three goals.”

Berko lost to Kings in the FA Vase earlier this month and Vipond confessed his players will need to put in a vastly improved display if they are to get a result.
“We had chance after chance when we played them in the Vase, we were poor and they were particularly good,” he said.
“The boys will be looking forward to it because they were disappointed with their performance so it bodes well to be a cracking game.”
