Lancing 1 VCD Athletic 1 Isthmian south east Lancing produced another late show to claim a valuable point against VCD. Kane Louis and Isaiah Corrie came into the side and there was a place on the bench for newcomer Alfie Hall. Youssef Bamba waswide on the right for VCD was quick out of the blocks in early attacks. At the other end Lorenzo Lewis and Corrie tried to trouble the visitors. Mo Zabadne had to be at his best to contain the threat posed by Anthony Adesite. Arundel v Worthing Utd in pictures. With 16 minutes gone Adesite hit a powerful shot which brought a great double save from Alieu Secka. Louis was operating as a targetman and finding supporting players with some clever first touches. Mod Jammeh was linking well with Louis and getting into some good positions in and around the penalty area. VCD’s Kiki Oshiaja picked up a caution. Lewis struck a low hard free kick beyond the wall but keeper Sam Mott got down well to save. Golds fans confident ahead of FA Vase semi-final. Kevin Lisbie, ex-Charlton Athletic pro and the holder of 10 international caps for Jamaica, was a threat for VCD but couldn’t find his range. Darius Goldsmith struck a free kick into the heart of the penalty area but it evaded everyone. Mod Jammeh and Louis combined well to give Jammeh the chance to turn inside his marker and set himself to shoot but he was quickly closed down. Will Berry at got in a header towards goal which was well saved by Mott. On 62 minutes, Bamba managed to get in a cross to the edge of the box and Lisbie had time to pick his spot, firing the ball home via Secka’s right upright. Lisbie’s involvement ended a minute later after a mid-air clash with Lewis. On 66 minutes there was a debut for Hall, coming on for Corrie and Matt Daniel replaced Louis. Some fresh legs helped Lancing to build up some momentum and on 78 minutes this paid dividends as Harrison Parker was set in behind on Lancing’s left. He rapidly reached the byline before hitting a low hard cross into the six-yard box, where Daniel’s striker’s instinct put him in the right place for a straightforward tap-in. Now it was anyone’s game. Lancing showed once again they finish strongly and Finn Daniels-Yeoman tried to pick out Lewis in one attack but the pass was overhit. Hall set up a couple of half-chances but neither side could find a winner. Lancing are 17th, two points behind Whitehawk in 14th, level with East Grinstead but with a superior goal difference.
