Crawley 2’s started the season with a battling 3-2 win at home to Horsham.

Finding themselves 2-0 down at halftime, a tactical shift and some determined play saw the 2’s fight back to win. Two unstoppable drag flicks from Karl Bass and another short corner routine that saw Liam Mulcahy tap home were enough for all 3 points. Man of the match went to Alex Bryant for his tireless midfield running.

Crawley will need to improve to keep the good start going with. Tricky trip to South Saxons on the cards next week.

2’s squad: Spooner (GK), A Cole, Westwood, Sidhu, Styles, Nixon, Bass, J Wills, Bryant, K Luxford, L Mulcahy, Gibbons (C), Orpin.
