Cold and calculating was probably the best description of it, in fact. Anthony Storey had obviously done his homework on United's Third-placed visitors on Saturday, with every threat from the in-form Crowborough thoroughly extinguished. james Hull was a late addition to a United line up that has taken them to one place off the play-offs, but otherwise it was a very familiar look ato the United lineup. A familiar start to the match as well, with United looking well organised and prepared to execute a Plan. Charlie Ball nearly got United off to a dream start, but the leading goalscorer put his shot over the bar. No time for regrets though, and four minutes later it was Ball who rifled a cross in for Max Thompson to head deftly home at the far post. Crowborough were laready looking to be on the defensive, and it was just six minutes later that there was a scamble on the edge of the box, and Arthur Grout reacted quickest to make it 2-0 to United. The Physio was on soon after, confirming the loss of Mason Creese to a hamstring pull, he was replaced by Mo Wilson. Crowborough were awarded a penalty for a handball with 3 minutes to go before half time, but it was woeful, Broad making a token effort at his right post, but he could see stright away that it was well wide. The game got fractious, and Rhyle Ovenden picked up a yellow just before half time. 

Crowborough started the second half with 10 men, having had a player sin binned when they won that penalty ( yes, you did read that right!), and so were very tight in defence, offering no threat to the United goal. With just over 20 to go, Hull broke through the lines but the keeper saved well to keep it 2-0. Taking matters into his own hands, Mo Wilson took it upon himself to run straight through the Crowborough midfield and defence, and smash home his First goal for United, making it safe at 3-0. Hull and Thompson made way for Samways and Walsh, and soon after Ovenden, on his 50th first team appearance,  was replaced by Nathan Crabb. Samways headed just over before Storey made a final change, Kartal replacing Mo Wilson. In the second minute of added time Crowborough pulled back a consolation goal, but it was too late for anything. On the final whistle the crowd of 300 also gave a generous farewell to linesman Garry Lucas, who retires after this game after many many years of service in Sussex Football. Garry moves on to Australia, while United move on to Wick at the Oval Arena next Saturday, looking to extend a superb run.
