Republic of Ireland international Duffy, 26, watched close friend and Mussels' Sean Roddy as Shoreham lost 4-1 to Whyteleafe at Middle Road.

Shoreham boss Donnelly said: "Once again individual errors cost us. We played really well first half but conceded so soon after the break and never recovered.
"This league is unforgiving and it's been a really long, hard season."
Shoreham's final league game of the season is at Phoenix Sports on Saturday.
