The Crows came into the away clash with Bexhill after winning 3 on the spin, 2 in the league and 1 in the FA Cup, with Muggsys men looking to maintain the status of early pace setter.
It almost couldn’t have been a worse start, The Crows struggled to get an early foothold in the game with Bexhill popping the ball about with a few neat flicks and looking confident, the early chances certainly fell their way. Up to the 14th minute it was looking like it would be a long, long night.
But then it all changed, Murrain latched onto an excellent long ball forward from Jack Mayhew, and with the onrushing goalkeeper closing in on him, Lucas Murrain classily took a touch and finished from about 15 yards.
As the second Crowborough goal came, it’s probably fair to say Bexhill we’re still on top, excellent work from Forster to recover the ball, played a neat ball to Murrain, who turned provider as he crossed to Duncan who took his chance.
And that proved to be the turning point as the confidence grew, and The Crows never looked back.
Jack Mayhew had a free kick around the half way line narrowly miss just before half time, it may not have been a shot, but the keeper scrambled back to cover it, seemingly caught off guard.
Half time, 2-0 and a dominant second half awaited the superb Crows away support.
5 minutes into the half and Harvey Killick scored his first of 2, a lovely touch from Murrain set Forster running forward who slipped a perfect ball into Killick who, under a challenge, neatly slipped the ball through the keepers legs. Our 4th and Killick second coming in similar fashion.
The dominance continued, with the lively Harry London, on as a substitute took his chance as more superb work from Killick, brought down unfairly and would have been awarded a penalty, the ball breaking to London who slammed the ball home, giving the keeper absolutely no chance as the ball hit the roof of the net.
5-0 and a good night for The Crows, who showed pure grit and determination to get into the game when their heads could have dropped.
