The footballing Gods are certainly not smiling on Selsey at the moment and the Blues crashed to their third league defeat in a row.

Hide AdSelsey started well and should have been in front within ten minutes with Morgan Forry having two excellent chances but failing to score.
The home side were made to pay on the quarter-hour as confusion between skipper Rob Madden and keeper Warren Boyt allowed the visiting forward to nip in between them.
As he went past Boyt he was hauled to the ground, leaving the referee no choice but to send off Boyt and award the visitors a penalty which was scored by Paul Rogers.
Selsey rallied after conceding, striking the post when Jake Goulding burst through and fired goalwards. Goulding had another great chance to level but made a mess of his header.

Substitute Ryan Hillier produced several dangerous crosses but the home side were wasteful in front of goal.
When another cross from Hillier was met by the head of Joe Gromett inside the six-yard box, an equaliser seemed certain; however the visiting goalkeeper made an outstanding save to secure the points for Langney.
Selsey visit Lingfield this Saturday.
Midhurst 2 Mile Oak 2
SCFL division one
Midhurst had to settle for a share of the spoils at the Rotherfield.
