Suspensions, injury and player unavailability is starting to take its toll on second-placed Lions as they lost 2-1 at home to Lemsford making it four defeats in their last six games.

With 7 first team regulars unavailable, manager Tony Gold was forced to make two loan signings on Friday night with Michael Sacks and Steve Summers joining, however the latter was forced to withdraw on Saturday morning due to illness.

Lemsford turned up full of confidence and in the end showed just what a strong unit they are but for the first 40 minutes it was Lions, even with all the player absentees, that in fact played some of the best football they have all season.
