Callum Overton and George Gaskin both struck twice while Howard Neighbour, Jack Rowe-Hurst and Shane Brazil all struck in Lions’ crushing 7-0 home first round victory.

It was a second successive cup defeat for Lancers after they were on the end of a FA Cup second round qualifying defeat at the hands of two division-above Hendon on Sunday.

Lancing’s young guns were given a chance to impress against Pagham but they always faced a tall order against a team who will be fighting for honours come the end of the season.
