Rocks' poor run goes on ... so does Pagham's fine form

The Rocks' run of league defeats goes on and they're down to 13th in the Ryman premier division.

Their 3-0 defeat at Margate was the sixth successive Saturday - and the sixth time in seven games - they have lost without scoring.

They’ll be hoping their midweek form - which has seen them chalk up two Tuesday wins and a draw and score 11 in three - continues this week when they host Canvey Island.
