AFC Uckfield Town and Crowborough Athletic both face opposition from Eastbourne this weekend.

Uckfield look to halt a run of six successive defeats, as they travel to Eastbourne United. Meanwhile, Crowborough look to bounce back from last weekend’s defeat with a home clash against Eastbourne Town.

In the Mid Sussex League, there’s a local derby, as Ridgewood take on AFC Uckfield Town’s Reserves at the Victoria Ground.

In rugby, Uckfield are away at Shoreham while Crowborough are also on the road – they go to Beccehamian.
