Culver Road survived Storm Eunice relatively unscathed and a safety inspection enabled the Lancing v East Grinstead fixture to go ahead. And the Lancers ended up very glad of it as they claimed a vital win that lifted them a little clearer of the relegation zone.

After a lively but goalless first half, Lancing took the lead four minutes into the second half. Destiny Ojo burst down the right and firing the ball goalwards. Somehow it ended up in the net with the general consensus it was an own goal by keeper Sam Freeman.
