Things were looking good when Ryan Stevens fired Dan Lawrence’s side into the lead but back came Cowfold and they completed the turnaround to run out 2-1 winners.

Clymping manager Lawrence could not fault his players’ effort and commitment but believes they are lacking a little bit of confidence at present.

He said: “After we got the first goal I thought we were going to run away with it.

“They got one back just before half-time and in the second half we struggled.

“Things don’t seem to be falling for us at the minute but we’ll keep working for a result.”

Stevens’ bit of magic gave Clymping the lead on the half-hour as he beat three players before firing a 25-yard strike home. Nigel Smith levelled things up five minutes prior to the interval, then Ben Hands forced home from a tight angle as Clymping fell to defeat.
