Back with a point to prove
Published Date:

SOME familiar faces return to the Dripping Pan tomorrow (Saturday) as Lewes take on Havant and Waterlooville in the club's last pre-season friendly.
The Hawks could field as many as four ex-Lewes players, all of whom were part of the Rooks' championship winning squad in the 2007-8 season.
Ian Simpemba, Gary Holloway, Paul Booth and Jay Conroy left Lewes for Havant in the aftermath of former boss Steve King's controversial departure and are likely to have a point to prove to their old club
It will also be the last chance for Keehan to see the new-look Lewes in action before the season kicks off the following week.
Keehan said: 'Obviously it'll be a big game for both teams.
'They have four ex-Lewes players from last year and we'll need to be at our best to beat them.
'They're favourites to win the Conference South and we're favourites to go down from the Blue Square Premiership.
'I think it's a bigger game for us than the Albion, because it's only one week away from the new season and both teams will want to be at their best.'
The game kicks off at 3pm.
