Lewes and Herne Bay met on Friday, in a match which was critical to the hosts play off ambitions and the visitors hopes of avoiding relegation. The two sides played out a six goal thriller. Rooks boss Tony Russell had spoken about throwing caution to the wind, and although they fell behind on fifteen minutes, Marcel Barrington continuing his fine recent form, they turned the match around to be ahead by the break- Joe Taylor and Ayo Olukoga with two in two minutes in the last few minutes before half time. Ten minutes after the restart Will Salmon made it three and home fans hoped that would be that, but sadly for the Dripping Pan faithful, it wasn’t- Troy Williams got one back with fifteen minutes left, and five minutes later Mason Saunders-Henry levelled the game. The Rooks end the weekend in eighth place, but are only three points away from fifth spot- whilst Bay are three points from safety with three games to go.
