Withdean hope to claim the points even though last night's match against Merstham at Woodside Road had to be abandoned when the visitors were reduced to SIX men.

Merstham had three players sent off, two of them for deliberate handball on the line, and another limped out of the action through injury to reduce them to seven players.

When they suffered another injury with 14 minutes of the match remaining Merstham claimed he couldn't be replaced because their remaining substitute was also injured.

Withdean were leading 4-0 thanks to goals from Shaun Grice (3) and Sam Francis. General Manager Mark Stevens said: "Hopefully, because more than three-quarters of the game had been played, we can get the points because another fixture is the last thing we need."
