Quirke strike not enough to clinch East Preston win
Quirke’s superb strike was cancelled out by a Josh Maher effort as EP drew 1-1 with Worthing United at The Lashmar.
East Preston were looking to get back to winning ways following their defeat to Saltdean United last time out, putting some distance between themselves and Mavericks in the process.

EP boss Paine was satisfied overall and said: “If you can’t beat teams around you it’s important you don’t lose, which we didn’t. We had chances to win it but didn’t take them.”
Quirke’s stunner gave EP the lead on 26 minutes. Mavericks levelled through Maher four minutes later and that’s how it ended.
