A goal from Stuart Myall was enough to deny Langney a deserved point as Hastings Town won the Eastern Division derby 1-0 at Priory Lane.

Langney lost Andrew Ducille injured and Darren Baker was sent off for a professional foul in a disastrous start for the home side.

Hastings got off to the livelier start and former Langney favourite Tony Burt had the first chance but he just failed to connect with Terry White's curling cross.

Ducille's injury came in the fourth minute after a fairly innocent clash with Danny Simmonds.

There was a ten minute delay as Ducille was stretchered off with his pain obvious to the 823 strong crowd.

This was a great blow for Langney but they hit straight back and had the best chance of the half.

Jason Reed whipped in a tremendous cross for Jon Snelgrove but the striker somehow side footed wide from 12 yards when it looked easier to score.

Hastings then started to dominate and best chance of the half came after the sending off incident.

Baker fouled the clean through Paul Jones and Terry White's resulting free-kick flew over the bar.

Matt Allen thought he had put the home side ahead after he rounded Tony Kessell in the 64th minute but he looked on in amazement as his shot rebounded off the bar and post to safety.

Hastings got the all important goal on 73 minutes when Steve Yates got through the defence and passed to Myall. He cut back onto his right foot to fire past Dean Lightwood.

St Leonards shocked free-scoring Tonbridge Angels with two goals in the last seven minutes to snatch an unexpected 3-3 draw at The Firs.

The game looked lost when Wade Falana made it 3-1 from the penalty spot in the 82nd minute, but substitute Simon Fox pulled one back almost immediately with a thumping header.

Saints threw men forward and, after Chris Neroni was felled in the box, Peter Baker equalised with a perfect spot kick.

They had taken the lead when visiting keeper Joe Radford flapped at a corner and Shaun Loft headed into an empty net, but unmarked Ian Gibbs nodded the equaliser.

Tonbridge went 2-1 up when Dave Arter glanced home a long throw in first half injury time.
