SMITH CHIPS TO VICTORY

- By Matt Dale

GOALS from Joey Taylor, Will Hoare and a sublime chip by Chris Smith helped Horsham to victory against local rivals East Grinstead Town.

The hosts took the lead early on when Joey Taylor’s cross was deflected into the net by a Grinstead shirt, but the visitors hit back a minute later when Dean Gunner’s freekick appeared to miss everyone before finding its way in.

Horsham retook the lead ten minutes later when Hoare’s clinical finish wrapped up a fantastic team move, but the hosts were made to sweat during the second half as Town looked for an equaliser.

That was until Smith found himself one-on-one against Sheikh Ceesay, cleverly lofting the ball over his head and underneath the crossbar to make the points safe late on.
