Lewis Finney got the only goal as Lancers secured a 1-0 home Southern Combination League Premier Division victory over Horsham YMCA. With ten minutes left until half-time Finney’s excellent curling free-kick gave his side the lead. A fine save from Callum Fidler kept Lancers ahead a minute later, before Alex Fair missed two good opportunities to extend Lancing’s lead prior to half-time. Substitute Shaun Charles almost got a second for Lancing late on, before YMCA were reduced to ten men five minutes from time as Lancing held on for all three points. Lancers boss Ash Bailey said: “It was a pleasing victory for us and one of the best first 45 minutes we have produced in my time at the club. “Horsham had a few chances but we were solid at the back and deserved the victory. Hopefully we can build from this win moving forward now.” LANCING: Fidler; Mills, Sharman, E.Finney, Fenton; Hendy, Waterman; Donaldson, Caplin, L.Finney; Fair. Subs: Charles (Fair), Quirke (Waterman), Bygraves (Caplin), Adams, D’Cruz. Don’t miss out on all the latest breaking news where you live.
