Crowborough Athletic WIN promotion

Monday, 5 May 2025 09:14

Crowborough Athletic were hosting Eastbourne United

Crowborough Athletic were vying for a second promotion spot from the SCFL and a place in next season’s Isthmian south east division.

There was a perfect start for the Crows – and a devastating one for United – as Rushaar Samuel-Smikle scored twice within the first four minutes to put them 2-0 up and firmly in charge. But moments before half-time Charlie Ball scored to halve the deficit.

Just after the hour, Crowborough’s Harrison Mayhew was sent off after picking up a second yellow card. But with 11 minutes to go, it was 10 v 10 as Sam Scott was also shown red.

That made no difference to the scoreline as the Crows held on to clinch that prized promotion spot.

They will be replaced in the SCFL Premier in 25-26 by Forest Row, who beat Infinity in Saturday’s Division 1 final. Diego Carmo got the winning goal in injury time.
