Sun are slipping from race

Sun, who began the season so well, are slipping from the Premier Division championship race.
Unable to field their strongest team on Saturday, they deservedly lost to a forceful visiting combination.
Up to midway through the first half Sun were more than holding their own.
Then, in the space of two minutes, they conceded two goals and never really recovered from this blow.
De Havilland added a third goal before Wise opened Sun's account.
In the second half Sun did a fair share of the attacking without their forwards ever clicking.
In the shooting stakes, too, Sun were left a long way behind and their only success of he second period came by way of the penalty spot and Phil Binfield.
De Havilland were much more adept at taking chances and they scored twice.
