Lewes Manager, Fran Alonso gave his verdict on today’s performance: “The main thing was for us to good play football. I think it was difficult conditions, very windy and the pitch was hard, so it was very difficult to play our style of football.

“I think first half we were very good and we had a lot of chances. Second half we weren’t that good, but the main thing is we got the three points, we scored a great second goal and we are very happy.”

Alonso also explained how he is trying to change the mentality of the team: “Our main goal is to change from a losing team to a winning mentality and now we have got three wins including our friendly, so it’s very good.”

The Rooks' keeper, Faye Baker was pleased with the overall result: “Really happy with the result, a 2-0 win. I don’t think it was our best performance, I think it was quite scrappy.

“We could have got the ball down better and kept the ball better. But they came at us in the second half and we rode the storm a bit and then managed to get another goal to secure the win.”
