Newhaven v Eastbourne United - match gallery from Trafalgar Ground clash

Eastbourne United’s climb up the Southern Combination premier division table continued with a 2-1 win at Newhaven.

Joe Overy put Anthony Storey’s team ahead in the 21st minute at the Trafalgar Ground and Mason Creese doubled the lead midway through the second half.

Dockers sub Dexter Lambert pulled one back in injury time but it was too late to give them any hope of salvaging a point.

The result leaves Newhaven sixth – eight points off the play-off zone – and Eastbourne United eighth, four points further back.
