Star striker Craig Gillies notched a second consecutive brace - his 26th and 27th goals of the season - and Simon Howard also found the net as the Lilies eased to their second straight win in the Kershaw Premier Division this calendar year.

Ashley Taylor’s men, who remain in fourth, will hope to extend their fine start to the new year this weekend when they host mid-table side Linton Granta (2pm).

The village side struggled for form in the early stages of the season, but have climbed the league standings thanks to a run of three games without defeat over the festive period.

Chatteris then entertain promotion hopefuls Hardwick on February 4.
