Eastbourne Town hunt for upturn after home losses
Eastbourne Town remain rooted to the bottom of the Isthmian South East table after two home games in four days failed to yield any points.
Last Saturday Jude Macdonald’s side lost 3-0 at home to AFC Croydon Athletic.
Josh Williams put the visitors ahead after 18 minutes and Jadan Raymond doubled the lead five minutes before the break.
Brandon Pierrick sealed Town’s fate with a third midway through the second half.
Town were back at The Saffrons on a rainy Tuesday night to face promotion-chasing Faversham.
It was closer but was another game that ended pointless for the hosts.
Gary Lockyer netted first for the Kent side on 34 minutes and Jack Steventon made it 2-0 with 18 minutes left.
Town staged a fightback and Nathan Hover reduced the arrears on 78 minutes but Macdonald’s men could not find an equaliser.
They are a point adrift of Horley Town at the bottom and will look to end their losing run when they visit mid-table Sheppey tomorrow.
Meanwhile Eastbourne United are back in the winning groove – read Steve Huxley’s update inside.
