Horsham FC move to within one point of guaranteeing play-off place with Canvey win - the match in 53 pictures

Reece Myles-Meekums’ blistering 42nd minute goal secured a fourth successive league victory for the Hornets.

The former Worthing winger picked the ball up on the wing, before buccaneering towards goal and unleashing a thunderous effort past the Gulls’ goalkeeper.

The win also moved third-placed Horsham to within two points of the division’s summit, after both league leaders Dartford and second-placed Billericay Town dropped points.

Top-of-the-table Dartford left it late to rescue a 2-2 home draw with Kent rivals Folkestone Invicta, while Billericay – who are now winless at home in the league since February – slipped to a 2-0 home defeat to Cray Wanderers.

The Hornets travel to ninth-placed Carshalton Athletic this Saturday, before entertaining Cray on Good Friday (April 18).

Horsham then visit relegation-threatened Bognor Regis Town on Easter Monday (April 21).
