Ryan Huckle And Jayden Davis Are New At Lewes

Prior to victory over Brightlingsea Regent, Lewes announced the arrival of two new players - Ryan Huckle and Jayden Davis.

Jayden went on to make his debut, playing the first eighty-four minutes in front of a crowd of 506.

Centre-back Ryan came through the youth setup at Gillingham, spending time on loan at Ramsgate and Dover Athletic. The end of his time with the Gills saw him sign for Faversham Town, where he made twenty-two appearances during 2018-19 and another three during 2019-20. Hastings United, Leatherhead and East Grinstead Town were his next ports of call, before he spent time at Ramsgate and at Erith & Belvedere. This season has seen him play twenty-five times at Bowers & Pitsea.

Midfielder Jayden joins on loan from League Two side Crawley Town, where he has been a regular part of the first team squad. He previously played at Youth, U18 and U21 level for Millwall, also spending some time on loan at Kings Lynn Town.

Tuesday 28th Premier Result

Enfield Town and Hornchurch have to settle for a point each on Donkey Lane in a 1-1 draw.

Pitching In Isthmian Premier leaders Hornchurch continue to look vulnerable, and last Tuesday night the Urchins managed to hold onto a lead for less that sixty seconds as Enfield Town hit back to claim a draw. Just before the break the Urchins took the lead, Liam Nash turning home a cross for his twenty-first of the campaign - and scoring in three games in a row. The visitors had hardly finished celebrating, however, when Johnville Renee charged forward, played a one-two with Andre Coker, and delivered an immediate response.

After the break the Urchins leading scorer Sam Higgins saw one chance go wide and another saved, whilst at the other end a free kick from Lyle Della-Verse was cleared off the line, but both sides had to be satisfied with a point.

Margate Announce Groundshare

Canterbury City to share Hartsdown Park with Margate.

CONGRATULATIONS TO KNORY SCOTT ON HIS INTERNATIONAL CALL-UP FOR BERMUDA

A THANK YOU MESSAGE FROM BILL FARNFIELD’S FAMILY

Everyone at the club has been so unbelievably kind, caring and respectful.

Allowing us to bring Bill Farnfield to the ground before his funeral service.

Then the wake, the bar staff were wonderful. Even though everyone was working hard for the ground inspection David, Billy, Pat and Hayley all took the time to come and see us.

Being allowed to put Bill’s floral tribute on the penalty spot at the end was priceless.

My family are totally overwhelmed by the club accommodating my wishes.

Thank you so much, it means the world to me to have given my dad a perfectly fitting send off.
