Bank holiday weekend sees the Rooks fly high

There was good cheer down at the Dripping Pan, Lewes, at the weekend after both the men's and women's teams won their home matches.

The men's team won their match against Billericay Town, the second successive home win for Steve King's team.

Whilst Lewes Ladies gained a stunning 8-1 victory against a unbeaten Norwich City team with two goals from Tammy Waine and singles from Lel Smith, Holly Grogan, Veiga, Kelly Newton, Charlotte Bennett and Jo Garnier.

The Ladies' win means that they remain joint top (with similarly unbeaten Enfield) of the South East Combination table.

The Rooks secured their 2-1 victory in front of an healthy home attendance of 482, with two goals coming from Michael Malcom. In a post match interview with Patrick Marber, director, King was keen to praise his team, however he also cautioned "we switched off in about the 85th minute and they scored from a set piece."

There was more good news for the Rooks on Monday as they gained a 1-0 victory against Horsham. The goal was scored by Paul Booth, though some might suggest that the bank holiday win involved a certain degree of luck – with both Booth and Malvin Kamara leaving the pitch due to injury.
