At last football was back at the Dripping Pan on Wednesday night, as Lewes took on a Fulham XI consisting mainly of Reserve team players. Andy Drury wellied home the winner from well outside the box in the 29th minute and also struck the bar late in the second half. Lewes gave debuts to Tom Davis, Jay Conroy and Dale Binns, as well as several triallists.

Boss Steve King has moved quickly to fill the void left by Paul Harford's departure, installing Justin Skinner as his new assistant manager.  The former Fulham, Walsall, Hibernian and Dunfermline midfielder spent last season as QPR's reserve team manager, and has also worked as a coach in Chelsea's academy.
