Weather prayers sent as East Sussex Football League teams aim to return

A full programme of league and cup fixtures is scheduled for tomorrow (Saturday), weather permitting.

Any matches that do go ahead will be the first played for four weeks as the last round of games on December 17 was completely decimated by snow and ice.

And with more than half of the December 10 programme frozen off, most of the league's clubs and players haven't been in action for over a month.

Tomorrow's scheduled line-up includes Bexhill Town travelling to St Leonards Social seeking to extend their 11-point lead at the top of the Premier Division.

Bexhill AAC, Crowhurst and Punnetts Town are due to be in Sussex Intermediate Challenge Cup action, while Bexhill Rovers, Herstmonceux, Ninfield, SC Pass+Move Arrows and The JC Tackleway all have Sussex Bluefin Junior Challenge Cup ties.
