Goals flow for Steyning Town – Eastbourne United see off Stags – Wick back from dead to win at Roffey

It’s been raining goals for Steyning Town.

The SCFL premier contenders have had three wins in eight days, with 18 goals scored and only two conceded.The team had hit a bit of a sticky patch before Christmas, but have come back all guns blazing in the New Year showing the kind of goalscoring form that had been part of her make-up in the early part of the season.Away to Bexhill United the side dominated from start to finish running out 5-1 winners with a very strong second-half performance. The goals came from Chalaye (2), Francis, Goldson and Towning.Next up was a home tie on Tuesday night in the last 16 of the Peter Bentley Cup against AFC Uckfield. Town didn’t really have a great deal to show for the first half efforts with a single goal from Chalaye edging them in front at half-time.

It was a totally different story in the second half as they ran riot with five unanswered goals and a rare clean sheet. The passing and movement of the side simply wore the opponents out and they had no answer.Two further goals from the in-form Chalaye completed his hat-trick and Shooman, skipper Barnes and Rance were all on target as goals rained in late on.Confidence was high as the Barrowmen hosted AFC Varndeanians in the league on Saturday. However, a really sluggish first half performance was again on display.
