A much changed Merstham, under new management, picked up their first win of the season in a seven goal thriller against Beckenham Town- and moved out of the bottom two in the process, being replaced by their opponents. The Moatsiders also delivered the comeback of the day in recording that victory, as they were three-nil down at half time!
Three goals in ten minutes just before the break put the visitors firmly in control at half time, Bradley Ryan, Anthony Adesite and Louie Theophanous doing the damage- but that control turned out to be anything but firm! Josh Milo quickly got a goal back for the hosts two minutes after the break, and three minutes later Will Kendall got another, this one from the spot. The equaliser arrived just before the hour, Lorenzo Lewis making it three-three, and right at the end, with a point each the likely outcome, Lewis Pearch gave the hosts a famous victory.
