Wattam, scorer of two tries in last week's win over Tunbridge Wells, admits the Sussex side cannot afford to ease off in the remaining weeks of the season. He said: "We've already slipped up at Dorking this season. We can't afford anything else to happen like that.

"Last season, when we were relegated, still sticks in my mind.I t's like a fear of that losing feeling.

"I remember coming off at Bracknell in the cup a couple of weeks ago with that losing feeling. We don't want to go through that again."
