Pulman hauls Rams into play-off spot

By Peter Butcher

TWO goals in the last eight minutes by Ian Pulman earned Ramsgate a 2-0 victory at Herne Bay tonight (Wednesday) and lifted them into the Ryman South play-off places.

Pulman (pictured), an early-season capture from Whitstable, now has 15 league goals including one for his previous club. His double put his side into fifth place, two points above Leatherhead who, however, have three games in hand.

The night’s other important result in the division was at Burgess Hill, where Walton Casuals gave themselves a boost in the survival stakes with a 3-1 win.

James McShane’s early strike for Casuals was wiped out in an unlucky 13th minute for the visitors by Billy Witham’s own goal.

Mu Maan restored their advantage on 31 minutes and scored the third from the penalty spot nine minutes later. Casuals moved above Horsham into 20th place and went four points clear of bottom club Three Bridges, still with a game in hand.

The 13th minute was unlucky for Tooting, too. That was when Danny Curd scored for hosts Eastbourne and it proved to be the only goal of the game.
