Murfin and Simmonds make it seven up for Lions

As Carl Stabler's first team went a point clear at the top of the first division with a 1-0 win at Crowborough and a stunning 7-0 success at Worthing, making it maximum points from their first six games, the focus at Nyetimber Lane switched to Luke Cooper's reserves.

Scott Murfin and Dan Simmonds both struck hat-tricks in Tuesday night’s win at Worthing, which improved on the Lions’ already-excellent start.

With regulars missing from the reserves at home to Rye, the side was youthful and could have turned out to be men against boys – but didn’t.
