Hide AdAfter Gordon Cuddington rattled the crossbar from distance early on, Warren gave Westfield a half time lead with a cracking right-foot volley from a corner in the 29th minute.
Heath drew level in controversial fashion with a goal that Westfield felt was offside, but the hosts responded well and Warren won it with a 25-yard strike which arrowed into the corner.
Little Common suffered their first league defeat on a Saturday this season as a depleted side went down 2-1 at Southwick. James Vaughan pulled one back after Common had gone two-down.
Full reports on all three matches will appear in Friday’s Observers.
