Folkestone Invicta joint-boss Micheal Everitt wants side to be even more clinical after 4-0 FA Cup victory at Hartley Wintney ahead of Isthmian Premier clash at Lewes
Joint-head coach Micheal Everitt is warning his Folkestone players they may need to be even more clinical if they are to beat Lewes.
Invicta extended their unbeaten run to three matches with a 4-0 FA Cup victory at Hartley Wintney on Saturday.

Invicta have already beaten Reece Prestedge’s troops 2-0 in the league at Cheriton Road but Everitt certainly won’t underestimate the Thanet team.
He noted: “It’s a tough draw, a
