Eastbourne Town are readying themselves for a top of the table clash as they travel to fellow heavy hitters Newhaven.

The two are placed fourth and third in the Southern Combination league respectively. Both have 50 points, although Town have two games in hand over the Dockers. The match could prove pivotal to the title race.

Manager John Lambert said, “We’ve got to get back to winning ways, after two losses on the bounce. Of course it will be difficult, because Newhaven are right up there at the top of the league.”

Town suffered a 2-1 loss to Chichester Town, who are seemingly unstoppable as of late. Lambert said, “Chichester are the form team in the league and they haven’t lost for a long time. It could have gone either way. But on the day, the best side won.”
