Crawley again failed to make a mark on the FA Trophy after they were sent tumbling to a 1-0 home defeat by Newport IOW.

Newport threatened in the early stages with front man Danny Gibbons proving a handful for the home defence.

It took until 25 minutes for Crawley to engineer their first chance when Warren Bagnall left his marker for dead and crossed for Steve Restarick to test former Bognor goalkeeper Colin Matthews.

The winning goal came in the 36th minute when Steve Leigh made good progress down the right before crossing for Gibbons to head beyond Andy Little.

The second half saw a more resurgent looking Reds and Matthews had to be on top form to deny Jay Lovett and Stuart Holmes in a matter of minutes, while Danny Carroll had a header cleared off the line.

As Reds continued to strive for the equaliser the tireless Restarick was brilliantly denied by Matthews when put clean through.

Skipper Luke Anderson added to Reds woes when he was stretchered off in the dying minutes.

Worthing were bundled out after Ryman Premier League outfit Bedford Town handed out a 4-0 pasting.

The hosts took command in the final 30 minutes after spirited Worthing play.

Rebels were forced to rejig before the game when Gavin Jones was taken to hospital with chest pains. The striker was able to come home with the team and will have more tests.

Worthing, beaten in four of their last six games, went close when leading marksman Gavin Geddes fired over after a fine interchange of passes with Lee Weston. But Bedford took a half-time lead when Mark Paul found the top left hand corner with a cross-cum shot.

Ian Edge doubled the hosts lead on the hour from 18 yards following a cross by Grant Haley. Dyer slipped his marker nine minutes later from a pass by Paul to hit a well worked third goal and Kevin Slinn gave the score line a slightly flattering look by netting in the last minute on the breakway.

Hastings Town slipped meekly out of the Trophy after crashing to a 2-1 defeat away to Enfield.

The visitors never found anything like their true form and were made to pay the price by a very mediocre Ryman League outfit.

Coach Terry White said: "We gifted them two goals. We didn't retain the ball well enough and we weren't incisive enough. We have got no cutting edge at the moment."

Enfield were gifted their opening goal after only eight minutes when Dave King made a hash of George Georgiou's weak shot.

King appeared to have the effort covered but dived too early and the ball bobbled against his body and looped into the net.

Hastings began to apply some pressure towards the end of the first half but Duncan McArthur free kick brushed the side netting.

Enfield doubled their advantage just before the interval when poor defending allowed Oliver Petersen to round King and fire home from an acute angle.

McArthur's incisive run was finished off by Steve Yates for an injury time consolation.
