The Terrors regained second spot with a 3-1 win over Eastbourne Town in front of an excellent crowd at The Saffrons.

After 15 minutes of a one sided first half, Allan Mcleod dispossessed full back McKay and Paul Vines rolled a perfect pass across goal for Jon Henry-Hayden to slot in.

Paul Vines then beat keeper Nessling to a McLeod cross to back head in the second goal ten minutes later.

Sadly Joe Vines, making his comeback from a long term injury, was forced off in the latter part of the first half. To say Joe looked keen to get back into action is an understatement.

It could have been four or five at the interval, the amount of space The Terrors side were allowed was incredible. In particular, Dorian Smith had the run of midfield, and the entire Eastbourne side seemed to gravitate to their right, leaving acres of space for Dean Hamlin down The Terrors right flank.

However the home side showed much more spirit after the break, and Liam Baitup ran nearly half the length of the pitch to pull one back.

The points were sealed twenty minutes from the end with a contender for goal of the season. The ball was cleared outside the area from a corner and Paul Vines chipped the ball up and hit home an unstoppable volley with his supposedly weaker right foot.
