The crosstown rivals will meet in a Peter Bentley Challenge Cup first round tie at Little Common Recreation Ground on Saturday August 16.

Common will have already played one game by then as they open their Sussex County Football League Division Two campaign with a trip to newly-relegated Worthing United on August 9. Bexhill are fixtureless that day as they are the odd one out of the division’s 15 teams.
