Arun & Chichester League

Horsham cruised to a comfortable home win against Selsey, with eight different players getting their names on the score sheet. The home side were on the front foot from the first whistle with Will Kerr going close with a right foot shot as earlier as the second minute.

Harry Lee broke the deadlock after twelve minutes when a good run from Andrew Roberts down the left saw his pull back side footed home from six yards out. And it was 2-0, three minutes later, when Callum Nash found himself in acres of space 30 yards out and he unleashed an unstoppable right footed, dipping shot that gave the visitors' 'keeper no chance. Further chances were then created as the young Hornets dominated the first half, Roberts and Oliver East both causing problems down the Seals right, providing opportunities for both Lee and Nash. Likewise Rueben Selby was causing similar problems on the other wing with his pace and tenacity.

Kerr should have probably done better after a good run, but he dragged his shot wide of the left hand upright, before the home side finally extended their lead a minute from the break. Nash was sent clear by Lee, but he was upended by the Seals 'keeper and Roberts made no mistake from the resulting penalty.

With the visitors down to ten men following an injury and illness at half time it was not long before the home side added to their lead, a cross-come-shot from Selby sailing over the 'keeper's head and nestling in the bottom corner. Despite the numerical disadvantage, Selsey worked hard to close the ball down and made it difficult for home side to break them down, despite plenty of possession.

It wasn't until the last twenty minutes that the Hornets were able to make their pressure tell. First, some good work from Nash down the left flank found Kerr, whose cross was headed home by Ross Williams. Kerr then made it 6-0 on seventy-six minutes, when a shot from Alex Moore was parried by the Seals 'keeper and he was on hand to tap in from six-yards out.

Jack Norris then scored his first goal of the season when he fired home a right-footed shot from a tight angle after a cross from Johnson was allowed to travel across the penalty area. And then a minute from time the scoring was completed when a good run from Jared Ashmole down the Horsham left saw him cut inside and release Lee, whose shot found a poaching Johnson to tap in at the far post.
