George Barker scored a face-saving equaliser for Albion Reserves as they drew 1-1 with Lewes Reserves in Combination action at the Dripping Pan tonight.

Barker finished off a Steve Cook pass as a young Seagulls side improved after the interval.

Louis Bell was on target for the Rooks in the opening period and Albion’s director of football admitted: “A few words were said at half-time.”
