The Rebels return to league action on Saturday after their Emirates FA Cup win at Eastbourne Borough last weekend.
After 13 months out on the sidelines with an ACL injury, Jake Robinson made his first start and announced his return in style, scoring the Rebels’ only goal in the 1-0 victory.
The Reds had their keeper Roco Rees to thank after heroics in between the sticks to keep a clean sheet.
His stoppage-time save has gone viral on social media this week! If you haven’t seen it yet then watch the video below.
