Crawley Town are third from bottom in the League One table after losing 5-3 at home to Shrewsbury on Saturday.
Dorking Wanderers won their National League South match 3-2 at home to Hemel Hempstead.
Redhill FC remain top of the Combined Counties League Premier Division South despite losing 4-1 to Cobham FC. It was the Lobsters’ first loss of the season.
The Safer Redhill Partnership has received further funding of £1,000,000 from the Home Office. The ‘hotspot’ funding will allow police to maintain uniformed patrols in the town and take strong action where needed.
Funds of £265,000 were awarded last Autumn to the Safer Redhill Partnership from the government’s Safer Streets fund; this saw the launch of the YMCA’s Y Bus for targeted youth outreach work and additional lighting in Memorial Park.

A new campaign, expanding on a trial during the summer, encourages local people to be part of the solution for tackling anti social behaviour by reporting it. From this month, the campaign can be seen on posters, banners and digi screens throughout the town centre.
Crawley Town have signed Millwall goalkeeper Connal Trueman on a seven-day emergency loan.
The Red Devils’ first-choice goalkeeper Joe Wollacott is away on international duty while his understudy Eddie Beach is injured.
Under EFL rules, clubs can lend a goalkeeper on an emergency basis outside of the transfer window should they have no senior cover.
The Church of Scientology has asked Mid Sussex District Council to impose an order stopping people from protesting outside its British headquarters in East Grinstead.
A request for a Public Space Protection Order was submitted in the hope of preventing protests like the one held by ex-Scientologists last November outside the grounds in Saint Hill Road.
Scientology became a recognised religion in the UK in 2013.
Alexander Barnes-Ross, a spokesman for the ex-Scientologist group, said such an order would be a “direct threat to their freedom of speech and right to protest”.
FreeShop Crawley has received a funding grant of £66,000 from the UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF) to continue to deliver the free community café and FreeShop offer at the Bewbush Centre.
The community café is a key part of the local community and helps reduce the impact of the cost of living for those in Crawley. The café, which is open every Wednesday from 9am to 3pm, is free of charge and offers food, charging points and digital inclusion clinics.
The Freeshop Offer provides opportunities for members of the community to get support with a variety of areas including wellbeing programmes, form filling, money management and budgeting advice, as well as bespoke workshops.
The UKSPF aims to decrease the gap in healthy life expectancy and increase opportunities between those in the most and least deprived areas in Crawley. Crawley Borough Council secured £1 million from the UKSPF over three years for funding to support projects that boost productivity, pay, jobs and living standards, improve public services, empower local leaders and communities, or restore a sense of community and local pride.
We are really pleased to have awarded this grant funding to FreeShop Crawley. The vital work that the volunteers do is invaluable for local residents, particularly in the current cost of living crisis.
