Lewes went ahead after 4minutes. I did fear the worsst at that stage. Give East Grinstead credit they got back into the game and for a 15 minute spell matched Lewes. We were awarded a penalty but the Lewes keeper got down well and saved Gordon spot kick. Dave Gellatly header was scrambled away. Lewes scored a second a cross from there right and Booth fired home.
The second half started Etherington came on for Gellatly. Lewes were on top through out the half. Six may of been a bit harsh as the Ref awarded Lewes too penalties. The first one i felt was harsh.
The Lewes side contained at least five players who had played league football. Plus a couple who had been with league clubs through youth and reserve team football.
Fox, Wilson, Watts, Tobin, Champion, Pelling, Powell, Gellatly Gordon, Reid, Chick. Subs Ditchburn, Death, Etherington, McGoldrick, Lardent. Etherington for Gellatly, McGoldrick for Chick, Ditchburn for Tobin. McGoldrick movement was impressive. Good to see the Reserve Team Manager watching.
From the Lewes side the following had played league football Somner,Stavrinou,Malcom,Jarrett possibly Hamilton who i know was at QPR weather he played for the firsts there i am not sure.
Nanetti is connected to QPR youths and reserves?

i'm not sure if we had scored the penalty if it would have made a difference to the result. To be fair to Gavin, their keeper was a pretty intimidating sight but I'm sure he'll agree he ought to have struck the pen better. Agree about McGoldrick in the second half, thought he gave us a real spark and was only denied the consolation we deserved by another good save. Good banter with the Lewes fans and the barrel of Harveys they donated went down very well

Just saw this quote on the Lewes fans forum

Hilariously grumpy EG supporters, the worst tea ever at a non league game and a bar that was shut more than it was open

Grumpy?? - Were they referring to you Bruce?

Some people are never happy. No mention of me helping three car loads of Lewes fans to find the ground. Bruce always has a smile on his face.

What was the attendance please?

Re the bar, the draught lager (Kronenburg?) is pretty average. Pipes not cleaned regularly? Drink bottles instead.

I beg to differ. The pipes are regularly cleaned and we get a lot of positive comments saying that our beer tastes better than many pubs because we do take care of the beer lines but everyone is entitled to their opinion.

Attendance was 87
