in October with a fine 1-1 draw away to Southwick in the league and now look forward to a busy November playing every Saturday

evenly with both teams getting forward, with Barlow and Morgan on top form Redhill started to edge forward. But in the 6th
minute they found themselves behind when Aaron Macmillan converted a penalty when Tom Levitt fell over in the box. Straight after this it was
Southwick that looked the better side as they kept pressing forward and coming close. But the Southwick strikers found it
hard to get passed defenders David Stares and Tim Smith as they held off most of Southwick’s attempts. Jamie Sinclair look the most
impressive player on the field as he continuously ran up and down the wing and passing the ball forward towards Glen Barlow
and Steve Jenns. Redhill nearly got back on level terms on the 33rd minute when a Sinclair corner found the head
of Stares but saw his effort just clearing the crossbar. Again Michael Morgan continued
his excellent form since returning from his ban as he continued to cross some excellent crosses towards the Redhill strikers
but just couldn’t beat the Southwick keeper. Redhill step up a gear in
the second half as they took the game to Southwick, Steve Jenns had a great opportunity missed when a low shot went wide of
the post on the 49th minute. Redhill found themselves
back on level terms on the 57th minute when Jason Fleming handled in the area, this was noticed by the referee’s
assistant who then gave a penalty, and this was quickly converted by Captain Justin Jones. Southwick then found it hard
to defend as Redhill kept getting forward and creating more goal scoring opportunities. Michael Morgan nearly put The Reds
in the lead when a near shot was saved by the keeper and knocked out for a corner kick. But with both terms battling
hard for the final ten minutes of the game a draw was a good result for both teams. Man of the Match: Jamie Sinclair Team: Roberts, West, Channon,

back of the net to give The Reds the lead on the 92nd Minute. With all The Red’s supporters awaiting the
