With their artificial pitch, second placed Newhaven were looking to bounce back from last week's defeat and were certain to be playing Lingfield at the "Trafalgar Ground" at the seaside. The rain had stopped and the wind had eased down as the game got underway. Newhaven took the lead midway in the first half when a goal was scored by Connor Sidwell from a corner. Straight from the second half restart, the "Dockers" doubled their lead when Lee Robinson scored then later in the half Lingfield scored to half the lead. A little while before the final whistle Lee Robinson scored his second goal to give Newhaven a 3-1 home victory which consolidated their second position in the Division, three points behind the leaders who now have two games in hand.
