Fleet Town stepped up a gear on Saturday, and the comfortable 3-1 win showed they should soon be making progress again up the Ryman league table.
Three quality second-half goals, two by striker, Lee Paul did the trick, as new boss, Paul Holden looked on in admiration of his side's all-round performance.
In truth, Fleet dominated this game throughout, denying their opponents a single chance on goal in the whole 90 minutes. Even the goal Fleet conceded late on was an own-goal, with no Molesey player anywhere near the ball!
Fleet on the other hand created plenty of scoring chances, and with better finishing the final result could have been much more embarrassing for Steve Beeks' Molesey side.
With new striker, Josh Francois pulling out in the morning through illness, Holden was forced to make one change from the side that lost at Bromley during the week - Richard Mealey coming in for Francois.
Almost immediately the Molesey goal came under pressure, after some great build-up play by mid-fielder, Andy Sinton. The former England international used the wings well and Mealey and then Phil Archbold had heading chances, all of which unfortunately went begging.
On the half-hour, defender, Jermaine Hinds forced a great save from Molesey keeper, Luke Garrard, after a skilful run down the right. Then a few minutes later, defender, Neil Morant linked well with Mealey and unleashed the shot of the match from 20 yards, which Garrard somehow managed to tip over the bar.
Although goal-less at the interval, the Fleet faithful didn't have long to wait for the first score, after Fleet came out strongly at the start of the second half.
A corner from the left was beautifully struck by Sinton, and rising above the defence, Steve Riley headed in to open the scoring. Five minutes later Fleet extended their lead, thanks to a brilliant score from Paul. Collecting the ball well, the 22 year front-man jinxed past two defenders and with Garrard bearing down on him, flicked a well-judged shot past the advancing keeper and into the corner of the net.
Fleet were now well on top, and it was hard to see a way back in for the home side. But on 69 minutes, Fleet handed their opponents a lifeline with a soft goal, the sort of goal that is more usually seen in a boys game.
A simple and harmless back pass from Sinton was inexplicably mis-judged by keeper Justin Gray, and red-faced, the keeper could only turn to pick the ball out of the back of the net.
But despite this set-back, Fleet continued to press, and with both Paul and wingman, Tinoi Christie linking well, the Molesey goal was soon under pressure again.
Paul went close again on numerous occasions, and Christie also was unlucky not to score. Eventually Fleet managed to extend their lead, when in the dying minutes of the game, Paul broke clear of his marker and although Garrard saved his first strike, the Fleet front-man was able to tap home the re-bound.
