A fine save from Callum Fidler kept Lancers ahead a minute later, before Alex Fair missed two good opportunities to extend Lancing’s lead prior to half-time.

Substitute Shaun Charles almost got a second for Lancing late on, before YMCA were reduced to ten men five minutes from time as Lancing held on for all three points.

Lancers boss Ash Bailey said: “It was a pleasing victory for us and one of the best first 45 minutes we have produced in my time at the club.

“Horsham had a few chances but we were solid at the back and deserved the victory. Hopefully we can build from this win moving forward now.”
