Eastbourne are close to securing safety in London Three South East after their 14-14 draw at Charlton Park.

Ollie Cummings slotted three penalties, including one with the last kick, though he missed six others plus the conversion attempt after the impressive Danny Craven had scored a try.

Eastbourne felt they should have won the game but the point is valuable as it means East Grinstead need a win when the sides meet a week on Saturday.

Gs lost 20-9 to title-chasing Dartfordians, despite three Kevin Martin penalties in the first half.

They were without their first choice back row and Marvin Marius suffered a punctured lung while playing as a blood replacement.

Brighton are in danger of losing third spot after a 46-10 defeat at Gravesend but their main concern is fielding a competitive side after being hit by injuries.

Only two of Saturday's forwards had previously featured in the league campaign. Paul Pride scored a try with Andy Light adding a conversion and a penalty.

Lewes could yet overhaul their local rivals.

They sent Betteshanger down with a 24-0 win in Kent, scrum half Matt Sole scoring twice in an impressive team display.

Sole also supplied Liam Craig-Davies for a score, with a penalty try and two Neil Rumble conversions completing the tally.
