Horsham YMCA crashed to a 5-2 defeat at home to Croydon Athletic in Ryman division one south.

Chris White’s side trailed 4-0 at the interval but rallied in the second half when Luke Gedling and Tom Manton (penalty) found the net.

Boss White said: “We won the second half 2-1 so we will take positives from that but for the first 45 minutes we were taught a lesson.
