Lancing Football Club made it five Southern Combination League Premier Division victories in a row on Saturday.

Jack Webber gave AFC Uckfield Town a first half lead but an Alex Fair brace and a Will Berry strike sealed a 3-1 victory for Lancers.

A lively affair saw both teams end the game with ten men. An Uckfield player was dismissed after picking up a second booking, while Lancing substitute Daryll Costen was given his marching orders for violent conduct.

Lancers boss John Sharman was happy with his side’s start and finish to the game but less than pleased at the break.

He said: “We started and ended the game really well but I was not impressed at half-time. I think it’s the first time I’ve had to have a real go but the boys did well to bounce back.

“We’ve won five games in a row now and we’re on a really good run of form.
