Little Common’s valiant performance was not enough to take anything away from their Friday night encounter against title chasing Peacehaven & Telscombe as they slipped to a 2-1 defeat. The hosts looked to add a third early in the second half but the Common defence remained resolute with Ryan Alexander and Russell Eldridge both making last ditch tackles to prevent a shot on goal. Common saw a header well saved by the Peacehaven stopper before Eldridge tried an audacious effort from his own half which landed on the roof of the net much to the relief of the back peddling Peacehaven keeper. Common did reduce the deficit in the final minute of the match when Alexander headed home a Cruttwell free kick from close range. Squad: Ryan, Harley, Parsons, Ward, Alexander, Eldridge, Moynes, Cruttwell, Hull, Brister (Tewkesbury), Ellis.
