It's finally derby day, postponed from Boxing Day, and the Dockers host The Tye on a cold night at Fort Road.
Well that was exciting. 👀
Goals at 2, 4 and 8 minutes saw the visitors leading 2-1. It stayed that way until Lucas levelled the scored on 57. It looked like a victory for the hosts when Alfie hit the target from Aaron's cross with 3 minutes of the 90 left. But 👀 Captain Pedantic gave a penalty well into injury time and it finished 3-3.
Saltdean played Uncle Dougie's Hornets in the cup so a point moved Newhaven up to 2nd.
POTM: Lucas involved in everything as ever and a goal.
Captain Pedantic was far from the worst ref at this level. Reined in the players from the off to stop them hurting each other. Shame he let it play on until the equaliser, made it feel like a loss. Got put back in the rucksack before I could call him a "Smug Tory" as he walked past.
It was good to be back at Fort Rd even though it felt like 2 points lost.
See you at Crawley 🐞
Love Tranmerekat 🐾
