Horsham manager Dominic Di Paola revealed the decision to pick Josh James instead of the ever-present George Bentley for Saturday’s FA Cup tie with Dartford was ‘out of loyalty’ to the keeper.

James made his first competitive start for the Hornets since his return from Burgess Hill Town in the summer after missing the opening games because of personal reasons.

In his absence, youngster Bentley had begun cementing his place as Horsham’s number one after a series of top draw performances.
