Eastbourne Borough bounced back from a disappointing week to continue their unbeaten home record with a dominant victory over Chippenham Town.

However, Adam Murray’s side were made to come from behind after Leone Gravata scored an early goal against his former club.

After falling behind, the Sports responded with a superb display and were too good for their visitors – with Jayden Davis and Yahaya Bamba goals giving them the lead at half-time.

And Borough went on to add to their advantage – with Jason Adigun and George Alexander – who had missed a penalty in the first half – completing a 4-1 win at The ReachTV Stadium.

Davis was making his first start in the National League South after returning from his loan spell at Welling United – with Jack Clarke also named in the starting line-up by Murray.

Borough looked to get on the front foot from the off, and went close through Alexander but he fired his first-time effort from inside the area over the top.

But it was Chippenham who went in front after five minutes when former Borough starlet Leone Gravata slotted home after a great ball through from Caine Bradbury.

The Sports looked for a swift response – and were given the chance to draw level when Bamba was tripped inside the penalty area – but Alexander saw his spot-kick saved by the feet of Josey Casa Grande.

However, Borough were level just two minutes later. Camron Gbadebo lifted the ball in from the right and Jayden Davis rose highest to head beyond the visiting goalkeeper.

Adam Murray’s men then went in front on 36 minutes, with Bamba playing a neat one-two with Alexander before firing across Casa Grande and into the far corner.

Having gone in front, the Sports’ attacking intent didn’t stop. Clarke did well to win the ball high up the pitch and his low ball across eventually fell to Bamba, but he fired over when well placed in first half stoppage time.

The Sports’ pressure continued after the break – with Davis and then Jason Adigun going close – but Chippenham almost drew level out of nothing on the hour mark.

A long kick from Casa Grande played in Bradbury, but he could only lift the ball wide with Joe Wright off his line.

However, Borough would give themselves some breathing space when they extended their lead midway through the second half.

Alexander beat Jac Poffley to break through on goal, and unselfishly the Borough forward cut the ball across to Adigun who fired into the empty net.

Adigun then repaid the favour two minutes later, with a sublime ball through to set Alexander away and he chipped his shot over the keeper.

The attacking threat didn’t subside though, with Adigun going close to number five moments later after once again linking up with Alexander, before Borough’s number 22 saw a low first-time strike whistle just wide.

Borough almost did get a fifth in spectacular circumstances inside the last ten minutes, as Davis teed up defender Gbadebo 30 yards out. With space in front of him, he hit a fierce shot that beat Casa Grande, but only for the ball to ricochet back off the bar.

The win keeps the Sports in fourth spot on a day where five of the top six won – moving just two points off top spot.
