Edgware slayed the Dragons of Wivenhoe with a 3-1 victory thanks to a brace from Greg 'The Beast' Ngoyi, which keeps the Wares, play off hopes intact.
It was a much changed Wivenhoe side from the one that Edgware beat earlier in the season, with the Essex side featuring a number of recent signing's including ex Spurs & Millwall defender Stuart Nethercott.
Edgware got off to the best possible start on 2 minutes, when Dragons keeper Tim Trebes, gifted Ngoyi with a misplaced goal kick that fell to the Wares striker who gratefully sent the ball past a hapless Trebes.
Edgware should have gone further in front with efforts from Ben Cain and Kevin Chakaodza, however it was the bottom placed Essex side who grabbed an equalizer on 20 minutes when Daniel Flack's long range effort beat Rob Blackburne to restore parity.
Wivenhoe's joy was short lived however as just 2 minutes later Ngoyi was on the score sheet again when he found the net with a header at the far post after Gavin Hart had delivered an excellent cross for the striker to put Edgware back in front.
The Wares held the lead going into the interval in a spirited match, with the Dragons belying their league position at times
The Dragons appeared with renewed vigor in the second period and the impressive Flack was denied on a couple of occasions by Blackburne and sterling work by Rory Smith and his defenders
Somewhat against the run of play Edgware scored a decisive third goal that put the game to bed, Adam Wallace's clinical strike on 70 minutes, giving the goal shy Wares their biggest victory since beating Aveley away 3-0 back in October!
Edgware remain in 3rd place in Ryman 1 North, level on points with 2nd placed AFC Sudbury and 4pts behind leaders Dartford, however they open up some daylight between the teams in 5th and 6th with Enfield and Redbridge both falling to defeats.
Edgware are in action next Saturday when they travel to Tilbury for a league encounter.
Match Rating 3 out of 5
MOTM Greg Ngoyi proved a handful for the Dragons defense all match and took his two goals well.
