A much improved Buxted, for much of the game the better side, contrived to find themselves two goals down by the turnaround.  The third came very early in the second period when Slaughter conceded a penalty, where keeper Patrick made a terrific initial save, only for the swift footed Willingdon striker to clean up the scraps.  New signing Terry Walker on his debut pulled one back and also hit a post and the crossbar, and the visitors keeper pulled off a stunning save from Johnny Barton.  The score respectable but no reflection of the all round Buxted performance, in which defender Russ Curd was outstanding.
