Forest Row vs Keymer & Hassocks
Div 1
K & H were only able to field a side against Forest Row with the seconds giving up their fixture as five regulars pulled out that morning.
So with a somewhat strange line-up they took the field against one of the Divisions form sides and matters took an early turn for the worst as keeper Gary Thomas was deceived by a bad bounce and let the ball run into his net-to be followed by two more including a penalty as they went 3-0 down within 10 minutes .
FR attacked at speed and in numbers and threatened to overrun K & H but somehow they managed to stay in the game till half time with no further score.
K & H played much better in the second half having more of the game but the home defenders were always on hand to thwart any action around their goal save for one effort by Lewis Taylor which went just wide of the post.There were however to be 2 more goals,1 each both comical affairs by the keepers-Troy Raftery finding the net from a free kick which trickled through the keepers legs and Gary Thomas at the other missing the ball he seemed to have covered to compound a bad luck day for him.
MOM went to Drew Nelson who stepping up from the seconds looked very comfortable throughout.
