Crawley Town fought back from a goal down to secure a fantastic 3-1 win away to Folkestone Invicta in the premier division.

Reds were without the injured Nigel Brake (knee), Neil Le Bihan (calf) and Danny Hockton (ankle) as well as the suspended Marc Pullan so Ian Payne and Mo Harkin were restored to the starting lineup.

After just two minutes, Reds signalled their intent as Nic McDonnell glanced Ernie Cooksey's free kick just wide.

Folkestone's two former Crawley strikers, Steve Restarick and Allan Tait, both went close before James Millar fired Invicta in front with an unstoppable 25 yard drive on ten minutes.

Dave Stevens was denied by a save from Dave Wietecha, who also saved superbly with his feet from McDonnell.

Reds forced a series of corners before the break, with Stevens going closest but an amazing point blank save by Wietecha kept him out.

Two minutes before the interval, Harkin burst down the right and his superb cross was deflected to Stevens, who controlled before rifling home.

It got better for Crawley from the start of the second half as Ben Judge's free kick from deep saw Warren Bagnall take a touch before steering his side in front on 47 minutes.

The lead was extended five minutes later as Bagnall broke through and although keeper Wietecha halted his progress, Stewart Holmes fired home from close range.

Crawley could have extended their lead late on as Judge clipped the cross bar with a fine shot from 25 yards.

Hastings United extended their unbeaten run to four games with a superb 3-0 win away to Welling United.

The visitors opened the scoring on 25 minutes when good interplay down the right between Steve Yates and Danny Simmonds set up Landry Zahana-Oni who made no mistake from close range.

Yates could have made it 2-0 soon after while at the other end Dave King did well to keep out a well struck Dean Standen free-kick.

Hastings took the game by the scruff of the neck just before half time. Duncan McArthur's corner was fumbled by the keeper and Ellis Remy was on hand to hook home the loose ball.

Remy struck again four minutes into the second half with a stunning solo strike. The young forward raced past the challenges of four defenders before shooting under the keeper.

Later Zahana-Oni and Simmonds were both denied by good saves.
