League Round Up 12th November 2016
By Anthony Scott
Saturday’s Buildbase FA Vase Second Round ties saw three sides from the Macron Store Southern Combination Football League progress to Monday’s draw.
Eastbourne Town, Horsham YMCA and Newhaven all progressed to round three, whilst there were narrow defeats for both Eastbourne United and Haywards Heath Town.
Peter Buckland’s YM side picked up the stand-out result at Culver Road. Whilst it was not really a shock they beat Lancing, the 7-1 scoreline was certainly of note. Matt Crane, Matt Simpson and Ash Dugdale saw the visitors go into the break 3-0 up. However, the Gorings Mead outfit were far from finished, with Sam Schaaf, Max Howell, Nick Sullivan and then Dave Brown goals making it a bad day at the office for John Sharman’s men.
Lee Robinson’s stoppage time effort gave Newhaven a 2-1 win against Ascot United at Culver Road. Scott Taylor’s penalty on the hour gave the Dockers the lead, only for the Hellenic League side to draw level within ten minutes. With extra time looming, Robinson fired in to give the hosts a narrow win.
Eastbourne Town will be hoping to take their FA Vase form into the league after beating Ashford United at the Saffrons. After going behind to the Southern Counties East League leaders, Ethan Strevett draw Town level at the break, before Dan Bolwell fired in twenty minutes from time to give John Lambert’s side victory.
However, neighbours Eastbourne United were not to have the same luck against SCEFL opposition, with Crowborough Athletic winning at the Oval. Peter Featherstone was in the wrong place at the wrong time, with his own goal five minutes from time giving the visitors a narrow win.
Haywards Heath Town’s road to Wembley came to an abrupt halt at Bedfont Sports. A goal either side of half-time for the hosts proved decisive, with the Blues missing their chances away at Combined Counties Premier opposition.
The tie between Chichester City and Canterbury City fell victim to the overnight rain, and was postponed.
There were three matches in the Premier Division of the Southern Combination Football League, with George Gaskin marking his return to Littlehampton Town with a hat-trick as they beat Hailsham Town. Jack Cole and Ben Gray were also on target for the Golds in a 5-3 win over bottom of the table Hailsham, who had Matthew Rodrigues-Barbosa score a brace.
Simon Funnell’s first game in charge of Worthing United didn’t go to plan as AFC Uckfield won their first game in thirteen games. Terry Payne gave the Oaks an early lead, before two goals in as many second half minutes from Dominic Clarke and Richie Welch saw the hosts run out 3-0 winners.
3-0 was also the scoreline at Mill Road, where Loxwood ran out winners at Arundel. Three goals in a five minute period in the second half proved decisive, with Charlie Pitcher and a brace from Michael Wood giving the Magpies victory.
Broadbridge Heath’s home match against Wick was postponed with a waterlogged pitch at the Leisure Centre.
It proved to be an entertaining afternoon in Division One, with the top two at the start of the day both losing.
However, Saltdean United remain top despite a 4-0 reverse at local rivals Mile Oak. Joe Benn scored twice, with further goals from Joe Hall and Eric Wedge-Bull giving the hosts a big win and condemning Saltdean to only their second defeat of the season.
East Preston drop to fourth after losing a nine-goal thriller with Steyning Town, who move up to take second spot. Tom Lyne cancelled out Ross Adams’ opener in the opening twenty minutes, before the visitors took control. Chad Milner, Lewis Levoi, Craig Knowles and Adams were all on target as the Barrowmen made it 5-1 at the Lashmar, before the hosts came back into the game. Despite a brace from Dan Huet and Lee Mottershead’s effort, Town hang on to win 5-4.
Third-bottom travelled to fourth-bottom as AFC Varndeanians welcomed Billingshurst to the Withdean Stadium, where fans were given a treat on a rainy day, with an eight goal thriller. Harry Magee and Dale Beesley saw the hosts go 2-0 up at the break, only for a brace from Nick Tilley to put the visitors level on the hour. Josh Newman restored Varndeanians’ lead, but Craig Grantham drew Hurst level into the last ten minutes. Mohamed Koroma looked to have scored the winner as the hosts took the lead for a third time, only for Pat Sullivan to score even later to earn Billingshurst a point in a 4-4 draw.
Little Common stay fifth despite a 6-0 rout against Ringmer. Wes Tate and Zac McEniry both scored twice for the hosts, who also had Adam Smith and Jamie Crone on target at Little Common Rec.
Wayne Wilkinson and Nathan Crabb both scored twice for Langney Wanderers, who returned to winning ways with a 5-3 victory at Midhurst & Easebourne. Shane Saunders was also on target for the visitors, whilst goals from Joel Stevens, Lawrence Hyde and Lewis Hamilton proved to be in vain for the Stags.
Clive Piller scored a hat-trick for Oakwood as they tore apart Southwick at Old Barn Way. Jordan Maze and Jack Nourse goals added the misery for the hosts, with Mark Gibert’s side winning 5-1.
Elsewhere, Morgan Forry and Toby Lempriere goals cancelled out Mark Barnard and Rory Woolston efforts as Selsey twice battled back to earn a point at Lingfield in a 2-2 draw.
In the division’s other game, Joe Warner scored twice for Storrington as they came from behind to win 2-1 at Bexhill United. Drew Greenall had given the hosts the lead at the Polegrove.
There was one postponement in Division One, with St. Francis Rangers’ match at home to Seaford Town falling foul to the weather.
Due to the Sussex FA Intermediate Cup, there were only two Division Two matches played. Sam Leggatt scored a hat-trick for Clymping as they beat Alfold, 5-2. Charles Lowdell and Ryan Stevens were also on target in the win at the Village Hall.
In the division’s other game, Rustington scored six second half goals to see off Ferring, 8-0. Aaron Turek and Carl Bennett both scored twice, with Jordan Curtis scoring a hat-trick. Oliver Rowland completed the scoring at the Glebelands.
