Darren Freeman thanked Lewes fans for a ‘magnificent journey’ after his managerial career at the Rooks ended with a 3-2 home defeat to Cray Wanderers in the Isthmian Premier Division last Saturday. There was to be no final swansong as the visitors cancelled out Dayshonne Golding’s early strike with three superb finishes. Despite the defeat, Freeman was upbeat as he looked back fondly on his last four years as Rooks boss. “It’s been a pleasure and I appreciate everyone’s help and everyone who has given me the opportunity to manage this fantastic football club.”Freeman also admitted he was disappointed with the final game defeat. “Once (Cray’s first) goal went in, we felt sorry for ourselves a little bit and their goal just before half-time killed us.
