In cup matches, Jarvis Brook go to AFC Ringmer, and Rotherfield visit Battle Town.

In the Isthmian Premier Division, Lewes continue to press for the play-offs tomorrow with a trip to third-placed Hornchurch.

After their big cup win last weekend, Lewes’s ladies are back in league action on Sunday lunchtime, as they host Sunderland.

Brighton’s men’s team also return to league action tomorrow, as they welcome West Ham to the Amex Stadium.

In ocal rugby, Uckfield face one of their stiffest tests of the season, as they host league leaders Eastbourne, who have lost only one game out of 16. Meanwhile, Crowborough will be aiming to record a fourth successive win, as they entertain Folkestone.
