Crawley Town ended a run of four consecutive League One defeats with an Izale McLeod goal enough to defeat Fleetwood at the Broadfield Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

And it’s FA Cup time again… In the first qualifying round, Redhill beat Carshalton Athletic 1 – 0 at Kiln Brow, while Merstham drew 2 all with Chipstead and it was the same scoreline for South Park in their home encounter with the Met Police.

In the two Ryman South matches this weekend, Three Bridges had an excellent 4 – 1 away win at Corinthian Casuals while East Grinstead Town were hammered 5 – 1 at home to Guernsey.

Football, and Crawley Town continued their losing streak with a home drubbing by Bradford City on Saturday. The Reds went down 4 – 0 in their heaviest league one defeat in three seasons.

Meanwhile, in the Ryman South, not much better news for Redhill who lost 3 – 2 at home to Corinthian Casuals. South Park went down 4 – 1 away at Faversham Town, but better news for Merstham who managed a 2 all draw at Folkestone Invicta. Best result of the day was Three Bridges 2 – 1 victory at Chipstead.

Crawley Town’s Johnstone Paint Trophy encounter against Cambridge United last night (Tuesday 2 September) ended in Victory for the Reds.

After a quiet and goalless first half at the Broadfield Stadium, an own goal from Richard Tair and another from half time substitute Charles Banya ensured a comfortable 2 nil win for Crawley who now progress to the second round.

The draw takes place on Saturday morning.

In football, defender Connor Essam has left Crawley Town after his contract was cancelled by mutual consent.

Connor was signed by former manager Richie Barker in January 2013, and made 12 appearances for the club and scored once in the 2-0 win over Coventry City in April 2013.

The Reds’ next home match is a Johnstone’s Paint trophy encounter tonight (Tuesday) with Cambridge United at the Broadfield stadium.

Kick off is 7:45pm
