Sussex County League, Division Two
Storrington 2 Bexhill United 3 (att 36)
Storrington is good example of how basic facilities can be turned into a pleasant and perfectly adequate football ground, at least for this level. That said, the lack of seated stand, or hard standing around the entire pitch, would probably prevent the venue staging "step 6" football anywhere outside the South East.
Anyway, the game is more important than the ground, and this one was very good. Bexhill looked much stronger and deserved their win, although they made life difficult for themselves and had to come from behind.
The visitors scored the only goal of a first half in which they dominated possession. Within 10 minutes of the second half two defensive lapses allowed Storrington to take the lead, but Bexhill continued to play the better football and got back in front. Their winner came very late, but they still had to hold on right at the end after losing a player to a red card.
