Behcet stars as Terrors move up

Behcet (pictured by Gavin Ellis/TGS Photo) pulled off a series of outstanding saves to defy the Swans and Lee Hall’s 50th-minute goal lifted the Terrors all the way up to 16th place with their fourth away win of the season.

At the other end of the table, leaders Crawley Down continued their poor run of form with a 2-1 home defeat by Hythe. Luke Blewden’s fifth-minute goal gave the Anvils hope of a return to winning ways but they were behind by the 21st minute thanks to strikes by Craig Thompson and Ronnie Dolan, and there was no further scoring.

The Anvils stay on top, however. The winners of the match between Dulwich and Faversham would have displaced them, but it ended in a 1-1 draw. Frankie Sawyer put Dulwich ahead in the 48th minute as they looked to maintain their 100 per cent home record, and their prospects of doing so improved when Faversham’s James Peacock was shown a second yellow card shortly afterwards. But Jamie Maxted levelled the scores from 20 yards in the 66th minute and that was how it finished. Faversham moved up to second, Dulwich to fourth.

Chipstead also hit back to draw despite being a man short. The vastly-experienced Rob Haworth scored his first goal for them midway through the first half at Sittingbourne, who replied through Joe Taylor in the 33rd minute. Chips had Craig Vernon sent off just before half-time and fell behind with eight minutes left when Ryan Golding converted a penalty. The ten men were then awarded a spot-kick of their own and Connor French took the chance to equalise with the last kick of the game.

Two second-half goals by James Cottee earned Corinthian-Casuals a 2-1 home win over Eastbourne, who had led at half-time with a 31st-minute volley from Ben Austin.
