Peacehaven & T. Res.  1  St Francis Rangers Res.  2 

With Aaron Birch not available due to work commitments, Michael Page took over the armband and his position at the heart of the Peacehaven defence, Jack Loraine also returned to the side after a long term injury.

Despite having the better of the first half and taking the lead just before the half hour mark, the reserves failed to gain their first 3pts of the season, against a St Francis side who they beat 5-0 in the Cup earlier in the season.

The second half saw St Francis score two goals to cancel out Joe Spencer's opener on 27 minutes, Once again Spencer's hard work and will to win saw him chase down a through ball and slot passed the advancing keeper.

Injury to Spencer saw his game cut short and heralded the long awaited return of Jack Loraine, but unfortunately it only lasted 5 minutes as he was on the receiving end of a bad tackle and had to come off.

From then on Peacehaven never looked like coming back from a goal down and the game came to a dreary end.

As Manager Richard Whittington left the ground this evening he commented, "Individual errors cost us goals today and we need to earn the right to win games. We are still lacking experience but I'm looking to address that in the near future"
