Glass half-full? Unbeaten, no goals conceded. Half-empty? Points dropped at home, momentum from Saturday’s opener stalled.

Chances throughout this game were at a premium and the choice of Jonny Henly in the Tonbridge goal as man of the match illustrates that the best of the clear cut chances fell to Lewes.

The first half had almost passed by when Ronnie Conlon was sent through but Henly saved well with the ball rebounding from his face.

In first half time added, ex-Angel’s goalkeeper, Lewis Carey made his first save when he pushed aside an effort from Tom Beere.

After losing Jared Small in the first half to injury, Tonbridge were forced into a second substitution during the break with Arthur Lee, who had taken a knock to the heel, being replaced by Tommy Whitnell.

The half began with a bit more promise with Craig Stone firing narrowly wide and Small’s replacement, Adem Ramadan seeing a shot comfortably saved.

Leon Redwood, who wore Lewes’ number three shirt but caused problems throughout coming from deep positions, brought Henly into action and might have tested the goalkeeper again immediately if not for a saving tackle from Sonny Miles.

Chance of the evening fell to Conlon who was sent clear after 58 minutes but fired wide with only Henly to beat.

Tonbridge had a good period from the hour mark with Alex Read seeing a header deflected over; Tommy Parkinson steering a header wide and a fine move after 78 minutes saw substitute Liam King set up Beere whose shot was blocked with the rebound falling to Ramadan who fired over.

Henly made sure he would be the man taking home the champagne with a fine save to deny Omarr Lawson in the final significant action.
