Hide Ad"In recent weeks we’ve become a little impatient with breaking teams down and sometimes been wasteful in front of goal, but Saturday we created good chances – with the visiting defence and goalkeeper in no mood to let us score.
"The first half saw us dominate the ball and with a little more care we’d have gone in leading. A clean sheet at half-time is always pleasing.
“The second half started with us again doing well on the ball, probing and passing. The opening came when Shane Brazil was pulled in the box - penalty given and Brazil dispatched it.
"The second came with Evan Harris firing home after the visitors failed to clear a corner.

"It was a pleasing afternoon – not free-flowing football but a good team performance where each individual did what was asked of them. We are a very young side who are growing together.” Selsey host Oakwood on Saturday.
