Lewes recorded their first league win since April by beating Bishop's Stortford 2-1 in the Blue Square South at the weekend.

The Rooks, who are second-bottom in Blue Square South, last tasted victory in April when they beat Weymouth.

Glen Southam gave the visitors the lead but Andy Pearson levelled the scores with a header that appeared to only hit the Bishop's Stortford post.

Sam Crabb's second-half strike secured the Rooks' win.

Manager Steve Ibbitson told BBC Sussex: "We knew the win would come, what was nice was that as well as gaining the win we played well too.

"I felt we deserved to win, it was a good game of football, we played well.

"We've known we've played well this season, should have won games this season, mostly against the top sides."
