FOOTBALL: County League round-up (August 19)

United won 4-1 at division-higher Selsey to claim 750 prize money and set up a trip to Ryman League Walton Casuals on August 28.

Lancers were victorious 3-0 at Sidley and will now host Zamaretto League Premier Division side Slough in the next round.

At Selsey, United went ahead after 15 minutes through Joe Shelley.

Selsey soon equalised but Billy Rayner fired home from the penalty spot to regain United's lead on 30 minutes.

He then converted a second spot-kick two minutes before the break to make it 3-1, and United completed the scoring through Richard Ghent with 25 minutes remaining. Asa Nicholson also struck the bar for United.

United boss Dominic Di Paola said: "It all came together perfectly, we played really well and it was a good team performance. It's our best performance so far and it's great for the club to get the money.

"We're looking forward to the tie at Walton Casuals, it'll be a good test and we'll be up for it. It's what the FA Cup is all about and it will be a nice change from the County League."

WORTHING UNITED: Bryant; Biggs, Stokes, S.Di Paola, Francis; Ghent, Shelley, Rayner, Hudson; Huet, Moss. Subs: Nicholson (Moss 55), Hand (Hudson 60), Bunting (Huet 75), Young, Peters.

Lancing joint boss Jason Rutherford was delighted with his side's performance in their win at Sidley.

He said: "It was a great result, and I felt we were comfortable.

"It's a great draw for us to play Slough, but that's what the FA Cup is all about. There'll be a big crowd to watch, and although it'll be tough, we're looking forward to it. To get the 750 is good for the club, but the prestige makes the win special and we're all very pleased."

Tom Pickford put Lancers ahead on 20 minutes. Dave Sharman's free kick fell to Lee Garnham, who nodded down for Pickford to lash home.

That was the way it stayed until the hour mark, when Lancers doubled the lead through Darren Annis, who tapped home after Garnham's effort was saved.

Dan Turner smashed home the third late on to continue Lancers' impressive start to the season.

A late brace from substitute Garnham gave Lancing a 2-0 victory in a tight derby game with local rivals Storrington in Division 2 on Tuesday evening.

Both sides matched each other for most of the game as Lancers' Wayne Joseph forced two good saves from Storrington keeper Gary Elliott in the first half.

Swans created a number of chances, which boss Ricky Hamilton believed should have been enough to win them the match.

Craig Grantham went close for Swans with a curled effort from outside the box. Dave Tidman had two glancing chances saved, and Tim Martin had an effort blocked and skewed another wide.

Hamilton said: "I felt we were the better side throughout and the best side lost.

"They had a couple of good opportunities and took them and we had six or seven and didn't.

"We also had a stonewall penalty waved away in the first half. At that point you think maybe it is not our night."

Lancing substitute Dan Turner laid the ball off for fellow bench-man Garnham, and his deflected, 20-yard effort, broke the deadlock on 75 minutes.
