6.5/10Salisbury Sink Eastbourne Borough with Second-Half Double
Salisbury produced a clinical second-half display to dispatch Eastbourne Borough 2-0 at The Raymond McEnhill Stadium, securing a vital three points in the National League South.

Ultimately, Salisbury's sharper edge in the final third and their ability to capitalize on a strong spell early in the second half proved decisive.
