BRIGHTLINGSEA Regent suffered a 1-0 defeat at home to Cheshunt, in tonight's Ryman One North contest at North Road.

The visitors scored the only goal early in the second half.

However, Regent had enough chances to gain at least a draw, going close through Josh Gould twice, Jake Holman, Michael Brothers and Jake Turner.

Those efforts all came during the first half and then, in the second, Ben Newson tried his luck with another effort that was saved by the Cheshunt keeper.
