Scott Malone fired over from range on the half-hour mark, before Crawley stopper Jojo Wollacott made an excellent save on the stroke of half-time.

Manager Scott Lindsey rang the changes at the break – but the Reds only needed four minutes of the second half to double their advantage.

A Crawley trialist calmly rolled the ball under the Grinstead goalkeeper after being put through one-on-one to make it 2-0 on 49 minutes.

Ade Adeyemo shot over the bar with 12 minutes to go but Crawley couldn’t add a third.
