Highlights: Folkestone Invicta 3 Horsham 1

Invicta hamper the Hornets play off bid


Horsham needed victory if they were to continue to hold the upper hand in the play off race, and the Hornets headed to Folkestone Invicta looking for a fourth win in a row- but they were left stunned in the opening stages after the Stripes hit them not once but twice. Ian Gayle got the opener on fifteen minutes, and just over ten minutes later an own goal doubled the advantage, and it remained that way at half time- but it got even worse for the visitors nine minutes into the second half, Eddie Allsopp making it three-nil. Three minutes from time the visitors finally found the net, James Hammond scoring from the spot, but it was too little, too late. The Hornets drop to sixth- but they do have three games in hand over Billericay Town, who are ahead of them only on goal difference.
