Weekend Sporting Preview

It’s set to be a busy few days in the local world of cricket

it's as teams hope to get their seasons underway following last weekend's widespread postponements due to the weather.

Uckfield Anderida are set to host Crowborough at Victoria Pleasure Ground on Saturday, as both sides are looking to start their seasons strongly.

Buxted Park will be away to Brighton & Hove at the Nevill Sports Ground, as they look to continue their momentum following last season's promotion.

Elsewhere, Lewes Priory are away to Hailsham, Isfield will be hosting Eastbourne’s 2nd XI, and Plumpton & East Chiltington are set to host St James's Montefiore 2nd XI.

Barcombe and Newick are set to face off at the Barcombe Sports Pavilion, meanwhile Fletching will host Ringmer.

Finally for local cricket, Nutley are at home to Alfriston, Rotherfield are facing Bexhill’s 3rd XI, and Blackboys are hosting Burwash Weald.

And Plumpton Racecourse is gearing up to host its final event of the season this weekend, as the excitement for Ladies Day builds ahead of Sunday, with seven races set to take place from 1:45 onwards.

Onto the football, as Brighton and Hove Albion will be hoping for a return to winning ways following Monday’s disappointing defeat to Everton, as they travel to title challengers Arsenal on Sunday, hoping to keep their European qualification ambitions alive.
