East Preston Res  3  Peacehaven & T. Res  2

Sat 26th November, 2011.     Reserve Section (Premier)

  Match details below 

The Reserves travelled to East Preston on Saturday, knowing a victory would put them within touching distance of a cluster of sides above them. Although they were never in front during the game, they fought back from 2 goals down, only to see a point snatched from them in the last minute - for the 5th time this season!

Jake Buss and Matt Fleming made their first starts of the season, whilst new signing Dan Poulter also came into the line-up, but they found themselves a goal down after 15 minutes when a corner wasn't cleared properly an angled cross was glanced in to open the scoring.

East Preston doubled their lead 10 minutes from the break when they broke down the left wing, and the ball was pulled back into the area and then scrambled home, leaving Peacehaven with a huge task ahead of them.

Two minutes before half time the deficit was reduced when a through ball from Chris Hoad found Matt Fleming and he chipped over the keeper to make it 2-1.

 
   
  The second half was a very even affair, with neither side taking control, and Peacehaven's patience was rewarded 10 minutes from time when a Tom Tyler free kick was guided in by Matt Fleming to level the scores.

With time running out, and Peacehaven apparently on their way to a valuable point, the last minute curse was to strike again. A corner was only half cleared, and from the resulting melee the ball hit the bar twice and was cleared off the line before being poked in at the left post.

Despite the disappointment, they are still in a position where a couple of good results will see them back among the pack, and will be hoping their luck finally turns when they visit Lancing on Thursday 8th December
