Town's fine run continues
Two goals from Greg Hearne were enough to secure Steyning's fifth win in those seven games, against Crawley Down on Tuesday.
Hearne opened the scoring on 17 minutes from Chris Duffett's cross. Town went close to increasing their lead in the first half but Gareth Dutton's long-ranger went just wide.

Hearne then twice had efforts ruled out which would have seen him complete his first Steyning hat-trick. Firstly, Hourigan was adjudged offside then James Pargeter was deemed to have his foot too high, before Hearne netted.
Crawley had a player dismissed for violent conduct with five minutes left before they had a last-minute penalty appeal waved away following a Ryan Pratt challenge.
