The winning goal came in the 80th minute when a chip over Conor Kelly’s head from the right was nodded home by striker Oli Leslie – the only goal of the game. Kelly was forced into two more superb one-on-one saves to keep his side in the game, but the final frantic few minutes failed to produce a decent chance for the Lions.
CDG are sixth in the day-one table, Pagham 16th and the Lions will hope for a better outcome next time out, in the FA Cup at home to East Grinstead Town next Saturday. CDG move on to a league game at Saltdean on Tuesday night.
