Rye lost their last outing as they went down 1-5 at home against East Preston. The Dockers’ last game was a 0-2 home defeat against Shoreham but they will be looking to progress in a cup they got to the semi-final of last season.

Little Common Youth vs Newhaven Youth
Sunday 16th December, Youth East, Little Common Rec, 11am kick off
Newhaven Under 18’s travel to the only unbeaten team in Sussex County Youth East Division, Little Common, on Sunday morning. Common have won six and drawn two of their eight games but are yet to taste defeat. The Dockers, however, are one of the two teams to have held them, and remain the only team to have stopped them from scoring, in a 0-0 draw at Fort Road at the beginning of September. Common’s last game was a 3-3 draw with Seaford Town, in which they needed an injury time equaliser to maintain the unbeaten record. Newhaven’s confidence is high after recording back to back wins for the first time. A comfortable 6-0 win against bottom side Sidley was followed by a not-so-comfortable 2-1 away win at Crowborough. This is also their final game of the year and have a record, so far, of 8 wins, 3 draws and 9 defeats.
