Jack Pearce is hoping the prospect of watching two of the top three sides in Ryman division one will attract a good crowd to Nyewood Lane next week.

Providing they are not beaten in today's re-arranged match at Carshalton, Rocks and Ford United will put the only two unbeaten records in the division on the line on Tuesday night.

Pearce said: "Both sides are playing well and it should be a decent game of football. We are seven points ahead of them at the moment but they have three games in hand so there's quite a bit at stake."

Rocks returned from Walton and Hersham in midweek with a point, but Pearce admitted they should have won.

"In this league any team is capable of beating another so a draw away from home is always a good result, but we had the chances to have won the game."

Matt Russell was Bognor's marksman, but Walton levelled from the penalty spot after a foul by rightback David Balfe.

LEWES boss Jimmy Quinn has praised striker Dominic Shepherd after his midweek double re-ignited their Ryman League title challenge.

Shepherd's brace helped Rooks to a 5-0 win at Molesey, the ideal confidence boost after their unbeaten record in division two was brought to an end by an 89th-minute goal in last Saturday's 1-0 defeat at Arlesey Town. The much-travelled Shepherd now has 12 goals this season and Quinn believes there are more to come.

"Dominic produced two good finishes on Tuesday but it didn't surprise me, he's been working hard this season and is getting the rewards.

"Dom's had a few clubs. In the past he seems to have scored a few goals somewhere and then moved on, but when he came here I told him that if he stayed he could be successful with us and I think he is enjoying himself."

Rooks were entertaining Hassocks in the third qualifying round of the FA Cup today, but they are back in league action at home to Banstead on Tuesday.

Quinn will have Justin Harris available after completing a three-match suspension and former Three Bridges player Graham McKay who was cup-tied today.
