Efforts from Daniel Lawrence, Nathan Millroy, Michael Fuller, Daryl King and Josh Rawlins helped ten-man Jarvis Brook to a 5-3 victory, in a game played at The Littlehampton Academy.

Despite the defeat, Clymping boss Lawrence felt it was a much-improved display from his side and said: “I felt we played quite well and dominated for large periods, without making it count.

“We’ve conceded a penalty, which I felt never was, then that has turned things in their favour.”

Daniel Lawrence fired Brook ahead after 15 minutes, before Harry Potts headed Clymping level nine minutes later.

Millroy struck on the half-hour as Jarvis Brook led 2-1 at the interval.

A breakaway move was rounded off by Fuller as the travelling side opened up a two-goal advantage. Daniel Lawrence was then shown a straight red following an off-the-ball incident soon afterwards.

Jarvis Brook were then awarded a penalty 16 minutes from the end as a home player was adjudged to have handled a corner. King slammed the spot-kick home as Brook went 4-1 in front. Varza pulled one back for the home side three minutes later but the three-goal cushion was restored ten minutes from the end when Rawlins made it 5-2.

Clymping kept going and Foxon got one back once again six minutes from the end. Next up for Clymping is a trip to rivals Rustington on Boxing Day (11am).

CLYMPING: Brook-Marsh; Stevens, Moore, Potts, Hodder; Precious, Varza, Jarvis, Leggatt; Reid, Foxon. Subs: Capelin (Precious), Slade (Moore).
