Icklesham Casuals’ 2nd team recorded their first victory of the season on Saturday with a 3-1 defeat of Hampden Park United at Eastbourne Sports Park to move off the bottom of the table. Icklesham played some very good football on a difficult pitch. Paul Daniels buried two shots from outside the box and Joe Fraser finished off a four-man move late on to secure the points. Joe also hit both posts and numerous other chances were created. Player-manager Adam Murphy came off the bench to help see the side home and the game also saw the début of young Callum Martin.
