Weekend Sports Review 11/12 Jan 2014

Local Sports Review

Crystal Palace missed a penalty and paid the price by losing 2-0 at Spurs on Saturday to go bottom of the premier league on goal difference.

In league one, despite being 2 nil down after 83 minutes, Crawley Town recovered to draw 2 all at Coventry Yesterday afternoon. An own goal from Sadler late in the first half started the rot but goals late on from Proctor and Drury allowed the reds to claim a much needed away point.

In other local matches, Merstham lost 2 nil at home to Folkstone Invicta, Crawley Down Gatwick shared the points with Hythe Town, Three Bridges beat Whitstable Town by one goal to Nil, and Horley Town managed a one all draw at home to Hartley Whitney.
