Lewes remain deep in relegation trouble after a second-half collapse.

Two new players could not help the Rooks as they went down 3-0 at home to Havant and Waterlooville to remain third from bottom in Blue Square south.

Manager Steve Ibbitson handed a start to new start James Fraser, from Eastbourne Borough, and also welcomed back teenage defender Grant Hall after agreeing a loan deal with Albion.

Lewes looked good in the first half without really threatening.

The were the better team until they went behind to a goal from Mustafa Tiryaki in the 67th minute but they then capitulated.

Former Rook Ian Simpemba made it 2-0 six minutes later and Manny Williams wrapped up victory with a third goal.

The only consolation for Lewes was that no team in the bottom five won so they remain seven points clear of safety with nine games remaining.
