30’ – Another shot on target by Leatherhead this time by Onokwai as Leatherhead look to assert themselves into this game

38’ – Another strong tackle but this time by a Leatherhead player as Kiangebini found his name in the referees book after receiving a yellow card

Taylor found himself running one on one with the keeper until Huckle dragged him back which then caused the referee to show him a red card

From the resulting free kick Maloney found the back of the net via a deflection from the Leatherhead wall which left Bowman in goal flat footed

FT – Lewes 5-0 Leatherhead 

A brilliant result for the Rooks which was significantly helped by the sending off but none the less a fine display as they look to push up the table and fight for promotion in a highly competitive league, with the final score ending 5-0 to the home side.
