Here's what happened at the weekend in local sport
Sussex Cricket closed out their final fixture of pre-season against Hampshire in good form declaring on 325 runs, with Tom Clark looking in form hitting a century, as the side now prepare for their opening County Championship fixture away to Warwickshire on Friday.
In football now, Lewes fell to a 3-0 defeat against promotion hopefuls Chichester City, with The Rooks remaining in 13th place despite the defeat.
Elsewhere, Crowborough Athletic’s 3-0 loss away against Hassocks saw the home side confirm their remarkable season as Southern Combinations Premier champions, with The Crows remaining in second, fourth points ahead of Haywards Heath in third, but still have a chance for glory this season, as they now look to face Eastbourne United in the RUR Cup Final on Wednesday.
Meanwhile, AFC Uckfield Town were defeated 2-1 by Mile Oak, as Rotherfield lost 2-0 against the Crawley Devils, while Ridgewood were unlucky as they narrowly lost against table topping Crowhurst 2-1.
Finally in football, Buxted secured a 2-0 win at home against Horsted Keynes as they continue catching up on fixtures, currently finding themselves in sixth place, but with at least five games in hand on those above them, as Plumpton Athletic fell to a 2-0 loss versus Lindfield 3rd’s.
