Clymping manager Dan Lawrence felt his side put in a decent display and believes they were unlucky not to come away with all three points.

He said: “We played some good stuff, defended well and were a little unlucky not to win.

“I felt the penalty decision was a little harsh and on another day we could have taken all three points.

“It was a much-improved performance, it’s just about finding a consistent level now.”

Holman’s deflected strike gave Brook the lead on 35 minutes. Clymping were back in it on the hour as Leggatt netted.

Brook were down to ten-men ten minutes later as Sam Saunders was shown a straight red. Jordan Varza was then hauled down in the area three minutes later, with Leggatt stepping up to make it 2-1.

Tom Foxon was adjudged to have handled ten minutes from time and Thomas Saunders got the leveller.
