The Pitching In Isthmian Football League

Tuesday's Ryman South action review

13 Jan 2016 By David Watters

Hastings United moved into tenth place in the Ryman South table on Tuesday night following a 5-2 win over lowly East Grinstead Town at the Pilot Field, writes Pitchero's Steve Whitney.

The home side had to come back from being a 31st minute Jack Maloney goal down to win, equalising seven minutes later through Sam Cole. Crucially, they went into the break 2-1 up when Billy Medlock scored a minute before the whistle.

Sam Cruttwell added a third for Hastings on 67 minutes but the Wasps were back in it when Greg Cundle converted a 77th minute penalty. However, Sam Adams on 83 minutes and a second for Cruttwell four minutes later, made it a nap hand for Hastings and the points.

Hastings are now just five points behind the top five with games in hand.
