AFC CROYDON ATHLETIC moved up to eighth in the league after a 3-1 victory away at Feltham last weekend.
And now they are only four points from breaking into the top six places.
Despite a slow start, they took the lead when Kieran Burrell won the ball and released Edward Cardona on the left, who cut inside and fired the ball into the bottom corner.
The visitors continued to pose a threat and Danny Penfold went close soon after when he fired over.
However, star man Joe Loyza grabbed AFC Croydon's second after 47 minutes when he beat the Feltham centre-back before shooting past an exposed home goalkeeper, while ten minutes later, Croydon custodian Rose launched a long kick forward that Lee Jansen flicked on to release Loyza, who raced towards goal and unselfishly passed to Cardona to fire home.
However, the Rams were given a wake-up call on 68 minutes when Feltham striker Ryan Curtis found space in the area and crossed to the far post for Omar El-Bakkali to pull a goal back.
