SCFL Review Round Up 27-12-2016
By Anthony Scott
One of the big games in the Premier Division of the Macron Store Southern Combination Football League saw third place Pagham welcome fifth place Eastbourne United to Nyetimber Lane.
And the crowd in West Sussex were treated to an eventful game – with the visitors coming from behind to inflict Pagham’s fourth defeat of the season.
Scott Murfin’s 16th league goal of the season put the Lions ahead early on, before United drew level on the half hour. Despite seeing a penalty saved by James Binfield, Liam Baitup was first to the rebound and made no mistake. With fifteen minutes to go, Callum Hart then put Eastbourne United ahead, only for Neil Murfin to draw the hosts level moments later. However, another penalty saw Baitup score and give United a 3-2 win.
That gave Chichester City the chance to move up to third, and they did that after coming from behind themselves at Eastbourne Town. In a game between our last two representatives in the FA Vase, Jason Taylor and Evan Archibald had twice given an improving Town side the lead, only for goals from Scott Jones, Dan Hegarty and Ellis Martin to give Miles Rutherford’s men all three points at the Saffrons.
The top two remain separated by eight points after both won 4-0 on the road. Shoreham saw off struggling Hailsham Town, with Joe Keehan, Jamie Craddock, Tom Burton and Richard Greenfield on target for the Mussels. Heath, meanwhile, had Callum Saunders score twice in their win at Arundel. An own goal and Trevor McCreadie completed the scoring for the Blues at Mill Road.
There was also an entertaining game at Gorings Mead, where despite coming from behind to draw level, Peacehaven left empty handed after late drama. A brace from Nick Sullivan saw Horsham YMCA go 2-0 up with an hour gone, only for Curtis Ford and Conor Wilkins goals to draw Haven level with goals inside five minutes of each other. Despite that, it was the hosts who went on to win as Phil Johnson scored in the fourth minute of stoppage time to give them a 3-2 win.
Newhaven needed two Ryan Walton penalties to earn them a point at home to Crawley Down Gatwick. Sam Cane and Lee Thomas goals had seen the Anvils come from behind to lead with thirteen minutes to go, but only for Walton’s second spot kick to earn the Dockers a share of the points.
Elsewhere, Lancing came from behind to claim all three points against AFC Uckfield Town. Jack Webber had given the Oaks a half time lead at Culver Road, but only for Will Berry to draw the hosts level. Alex Fair then scored twice in the last six minutes to give the hosts a 3-1 win.
Alex Parsons, Marlon Maxwell and Ollie Moore goals saw Broadbridge Heath win 3-0 at Littlehampton Town, who fall to second-bottom after wins for Wick and Worthing United.
Adrian Todd got the only goal for Simon Funnell’s Worthing side as they won 1-0 at Loxwood, with Joe Gromett on target as Wick won away at Hassocks by the same scoreline.
It’s as you were at the top of Division One as the top three all won, but in different styles. Two goals from Lewis Hole helped Little Common to a comfortable win against St. Francis Rangers. Adam Smith was also on target in a 3-0 win for the hosts.
Mile Oak, meanwhile, were impressive winners at a resurgent Langney Wanderers. Former Lewes Academy player Jordan Stubbings scored four for Oak at The Oval, with Joe Benn also on target in a 5-1 win. Tyler Pearson had drawn Wanderers level after six minutes.
Saltdean United were made to work hard for a 2-1 win at Midhurst & Easebourne. Tyler Goatcher and Andy McDowell goals looked set to put United in for an easy afternoon. However, Gary Norgate struck with twenty minutes to go to set up a tense finale, but the Stags couldn’t find an equaliser.
Lingfield produced a fine second half comeback as they won a seven-goal thriller against Billingshurst. Eno Idiong and Pat O’Sullivan goals saw the visitors lead 2-0 going into the final 22 minutes. However, goals from Brett Caiger, Sam Bell, Connor Leech and TJ Stead saw the hosts go 4-2 up. Elliot Hawkes scored for the visitors late on, but Lingfield held on to win.
Steyning Town stay fourth despite drawing at Selsey. Howard Low and Tom Groom goals twice put Selsey ahead at the Bunn Leisure Stadium, only for Charlie Romain and Lewis Levoi efforts to earn the Barrowmen a share of the spoils.
AFC Varndeanians and Seaford Town played out a 2-2 draw at the Withdean Stadium. Reece Gayler and Matt Waterman put the hosts ahead after Joey Pout’s early effort, only for Dave Pugh to score in the second half to earn Seaford a point.
Ross Myers scored a brace to help Southwick to a 3-2 win at home to Bexhill United. Jack Piner was also on target in the win for the hosts, with Gordon Cuddington and Craig Ottley goals proving to be consolation efforts for the Pirates at Old Barn Way.
East Preston prevailed against a hard-working Ringmer side at the Caburn to stay in touch with the top three. Josh Etherington, Tom Lyne and Jared Rance got the goals for EP, who were made to work hard by a brave Ringmer side.
In the division’s other game, Matt Searle, Callum Meeney, Joe Warner and Ross Fraser got the goals for Storrington as they beat Oakwood, 4-0.
With Sidlesham in Intermediate Cup action, Bosham moved five points clear at the top of the table with a 2-0 win over Rustington. Ricky Mullen and Ryan Coombes scored either side of the break for the Robins at Walton Lane.
Ferring conceded ten second half goals as they were thrashed at Lancing United. Mark O’Regan scored four times, with Grant Thetford adding five to the 13-goal win. Guy Church also scored a hat-trick for the hosts.
Alfold were big winners at home to Worthing Town Leisure. Dan Hallet and Matt Slater both scored twice in the second half in the 6-0 win. Paul Walshe and Evan Millias had given the hosts a 2-0 lead at the break.
Jarvis Brook returned from Clymping with all three points after the teams shared eight goals at the Village Hall. Danny Lawrence, Nathan Millroy, Mike Fuller, Daryl King and Josh Rawlins were all on target for Brook, who won 5-3.
Elsewhere, Westfield stay in fourth after beating Montpelier Villa, 2-0. Callum Smith and Jake Adams scored either side of the break at the Parish Field.
Alex Townley, Tip Tapscott, Harry Smith and Jamie Rowland were all on target as Upper Beeding came from behind to win 4-1 at Roffey in the division’s other game.

LEAGUE ROUNDUP 10th December 2016
By Anthony Scott
It’s as you were at the top of the Premier Division table in the Macron Store Southern Combination Football League after the top five all won in the latest round of fixtures.
Shoreham continue to lead the way by five points after a convincing 4-0 win against Loxwood. Joe Keehan, Tom Burton, Rob O’Toole and Richard Greenfield got the goals for the Mussels at Middle Road.
Haywards Heath Town are their nearest challengers, and ahead of their match on Tuesday night, the Blues saw off Newhaven at Hanbury Park. Trevor McCreadie and Alex Laing were on target in the second half to give Shaun Saunders’ side a 2-0 win.
However, it was third place Pagham who were the biggest winners of the day – romping to a 6-1 win away at Worthing United. Kieron Pamment scored a first half hat-trick to put the Lions in the driving seat, before a treble from Ryan Morey in the second period sealed a big win for Mark Bennett’s men at Lyons Way. Paul Elliott grabbed a consolation for United late on.
After losing out in a ten goal thriller last week, Crawley Down returned to winning ways with an emphatic 4-1 win at home to Arundel. Oli Leslie scored a hat-trick for the Anvils after Michael Belli had opened the scoring, with Rory Biggs scoring late on for the visitors’ consolation.
Eastbourne Town’s upturn in fortune continued with a 3-1 win at AFC Uckfield Town. Aaron Capon, Jason Taylor and Evan Archibald got the goals for John Lambert’s men at the Oaks.
Wick missed the chance to move out of the bottom three after failing to hold on to a 2-0 lead at home to Horsham YMCA. Joe Gromett scored twice for the hosts, who were two goals up on the hour, but only for Sam Schaaf and then Guy Harding to earn YM a share of the points at Crabtree Park.
An improving Lancing side picked up a surprise win at Broadbridge Heath. Nana Baah and Lewis Finney scored for the visitors as they won 2-1 at the Leisure Centre, with Stuart Chester scoring late on for Heath.
Chichester City keep close taps on the top three after they saw off struggling Littlehampton Town. Jack Lee, Jamie Horncastle, Keiran Hartley and Ellis Martin got the goals for Chi at Oaklands Park as they won 4-0.
Eastbourne United made it back-to-back wins after seeing off a brave effort from Hailsham Town at the Oval. Martin Mutungi cancelled out Adam Davidson’s effort as the sides went in on level terms, only for the hosts to turn the screw after the break. Bailo Camara, Liam Baitup and Max Hollobone were all on target as United ran out 4-2 winners, with Billy Crittenden scoring late on for the visitors.
Elsewhere, Josh Marshall got the only goal as Peacehaven & Telscombe won 1-0 at home to Hassocks.
In Division One, first hosted second as Little Common welcomed Saltdean United to the Recreation Ground. It was the Tigers who went ahead in the first half, as a header went in off the post, but only for Common to respond in style in the second period. Wes Tate drew Russell Eldridge’s side level, before Saltdean went down to ten men after a second bookable offence by a defender. Despite that, it was the visitors who went closest to regaining the lead as Andy McDowell saw his effort come back off the post, but Little Common went on to win it five minutes from time. Jamie Crone was released inside the area, and he rounded the keeper to give the hosts a great win.
They are three points clear of Mile Oak, who leapfrog Saltdean into second on goal difference, after they beat Lingfield. Enzo Benn scored twice, including a late winner, for the hosts as they won 2-1.
Langney Wanderers’ revival under Andy Goodchild continued after they came from behind to win emphatically at St. Francis Rangers. Rhys White gave Rangers a fourth minute lead, only for the visitors to respond in great style. Nathan Crabb scored a hat-trick with further goals from Josh Elliot-Noye, Shane Saunders, Ashley Jarvis and Wayne Wilkinson as Wanderers won 8-1 at the Colwell Ground.
Third-bottom hosted bottom in what looked a big game prior to kick off as Ringmer made the trip to Billingshurst. However, it was the hosts who picked up only their third win of the season in surprising style. Patrick O’Sullivan scored a hat-trick, with Enobong Idiong, Harry Bowles, Sean Culley and Elliot Hawkes all on target as Billingshurst won 7-2, leaving Ringmer bottom of the table.
East Preston lost ground on those sides above them after slipping to a surprise defeat at home to Storrington. Joe Warner got the only goal of the game as the Swans won 1-0 at the Lashmar.
Steyning Town missed the chance to move into the top three after they were held by AFC Varndeanians. In a real topsy-turvy affair at the Shooting Field, Matt Waterman’s hat-trick proved enough to earn the visitors a point. However, Steyning will be pleased with a point after coming from behind twice with Charlie Romain and a Craig Knowles brace earning them a 3-3 draw.
Morgan Forry scored twice for Selsey as they won 5-1 at Oakwood. Joe Manners, Joseph Clarke and Tom Groom were also on target for the visitors at Tinsley Lane.
David Pugh grabbed a brace in Seaford Town’s 3-1 win at home to Southwick. George Rudwick was also on target at The Crouch as the visitors picked up their fifth win of the season.
In the division’s other game, Midhurst & Easebourne won 2-1 at Bexhill United, with Drew Greenall on target for the hosts.
There was a slightly reduced fixture list in Division Two due to the Intermediate Cup, and Sidlesham made the most of it as they reduced the gap to Bosham to just two points.
Callum Dowdell, Tom Bayley, Tom Kelly, Dan Bassil and Callum Litterick got the goals for the Sids as they won 5-1 at bottom of the table Ferring.
Rottingdean Village came from two goals down to earn a point at Upper Beeding. Tim Tapscott’s opener was cancelled out by Jack Doe as the teams went in level at the break. Jamie Rowland and Nat Rowland then put the hosts 3-1 up on the hour, but Rottingdean battled back to earn a point. Doe scored his second, before Jack McDowells’ late equaliser.
Declan Jenkins scored twice for Worthing Town Leisure as they beat Clymping, 4-1. Rossi Kaye opened the scoring at Palentine Park, with Steve Kirkham also on target for the hosts.
Trevor Wilson, Karl Gumbrell, Aaron Blackwell and Simon Whitney were all on target for Montpelier Villa as they won 4-0 at home to Alfold, whilst Chris Darwin, Kerry Hardwell and Regan Miles scored for Rustington as they saw off Cowfold, 3-0, in the division’s other game.
