AFC Uckfield Town v Crowborough Athletic, was stopped at half time due to poor pitch conditions.

The Southern Combination Premier Division match on Easter Monday was a much anticipated affair, with just 10 miles between the two clubs.

A good crowd at the Oaks had braved the conditions as the morning rain continued to late in the 1st half.

Crowborough dominated the 45 minutes that were played, with some attractive attacking football and took the lead after just 1 minute. They deservedly led 4-1 at half time.

Details of whether a re-arranged fixture will be played to be confirmed in due course.
