For the Lancers, with Alex Walsh now working alongisde Kane Louis as joint boss, there was a first away win in the Isthmian south east as they triumphed 2-1 at Whitehawk.

On 23 minutes, Whitehawk took the lead. A cross came in from the right which James Fraser met with a well-directed header into the top corner.

It took only seven minutes for Lancing to draw level. A great pass from Matt Daniel put Mo Juwara in and he floated a perfect cross for Finn Daniels-Yeoman at the far post and he guided a header out of reach of the keeper.

As the game reached the last quarter, Lancing got themselves in front. Will Berry picked out Juwara wide left with a good pass and when he hit a fierce cross into six-yard box, Daniel’s poacher’s instinct got him into the perfect position to ram home from close range.

The Lancers are up to 15th and host Sevenoaks on Saturday – fuel shortages permitting.

Two YM corners followed, neither side exerting telling supremacy in the first 20 minutes.

But, just beyond the midway point, Dion Jarvis’ close range effort evaded Jeal’s grasp, and Littlehampton promptly doubled their lead, George Gaskin’s blast giving Jeal no chance. And, it soon got worse, when Joe Benn fired in from the left.

Three very close calls early in the second half harried YM, until, on the hour mark, a Benn back heel put the visitors 4-0 up.

Two YM corners preceded Tom Tolfrey’s 85th minute goal, with Dave Brown and sub Will Read both blasting unsuccessfully, but the game had long since been sewn up by the visitors, strengthening their lead at the top of the table with their tenth victory from 11 starts.

Yapton 3 Whyke 2

WSFL division two south

Seven days after suffering a 3-2 defeat at Whyke, Yapton played the return match at home and reversed that result with a 3-2 victory.

Jamie Goord’s goals in the 75th and 80th minutes completed Yapton’s success.

There were moments of ill temper: Whyke had two players sin-binned for 10 minutes in the first half and Yapton had Tague sent off near the end for foul and abusive language.

Yapton Reserves lost 5-3 at home to Witterings in the Barham Trophy. Witterings, from a division higher, led 2-0, but Keiron Parkinson and Tom Legge equalised before half-time.

Witterings regained the lead, Legge made it 3-3 and two late Wittering goals sealed their victory.
