On the up - Billericay were celebrating after their first home win since September Picture: Rob Brown
The three points gained from this keenly-fought Essex derby mean that Town are now just one point in arrears of second-from-bottom Aylesbury.
And a run of just one defeat - by runaway leaders Canvey - in eight matches is dragging a host of other teams into the mire.
In the 77th minute Graeme Tomlinson sent in a superb cross, which Stowe rose to head gleefully home just six minutes after coming on for hard-working Michael Black.
It was Town's first home victory since September and left fans, who seem to be returning in significant numbers with a 452 crowd watching this action, in happy frame of mind.
