MICHAEL Hayden came close to making it 1-1 within four minutes of the restart but his volley was deflected a foot wide by a Cambridge defender.

Steve Luckett was even closer to levelling two minutes later when his foray forward saw him take a return pass from Mark Hands before driving a left-footer inches wide.

Danny Scheppel then drove a shot past the angle of post and crossbar as the Robins attacked in fine style as they sought to prevent losing at Worcester for the first time since January 1.
