The result leaves United four places and seven points off the bottom of the league after recording just three wins so far this season.

James Glue broke the deadlock on the hour mark and soon after a lapse in the home defence let in Stephen Gibson for a killer second.

United came close with a good shot from Benji Symes in the closing stages but it flew just wide of the upright.

Sidley United's Sussex Division One match away to leaders Burgess Hill Town was postponed due to a waterlogged pitch.
