Horsham YMCA go into Christmas with a massive 14-point lead at the top of division one after chalking up their 15th win of the season on Saturday.
YM beat ten-man Southwick 3-0 although boss John Suter was not entirely satisfied with their performance.
He said: "It was a satisfactory result but we didn't play as well as we can."
Wickers, already trailing 1-0 and with key players absent, hardly helped their cause when joint-manager Lee Cox got his marching orders in the 55th minute following a bust-up with Joel O'Hara.
Clinton Moore had put YM in front with a quickly-taken free-kick from the edge of the box. Steve Davies swept home O'Hara's left-wing cross for 2-0 and James Grant got a late third.
