HASTINGS United slipped to third from bottom in the Dr Martens Eastern Division with a 2-1 defeat at home to Chatham Town on Tuesday night.

An horrendous error by debutant keeper Paul Sansome after only four minutes and some rank bad defending early in the second half handed the points to the Kent visitors.

Manager Steve Lovell said: "The boys are gutted and I'm disappointed as well, but there's nothing you can do at the end of the game - you can bawl and shout but there is no need because they are giving everything."
