In the Southern Combination Football League Premier Division, Crowborough Athletic beat Lingfield 2-1 at Charles Century Community Stadium, with Will Puffette making his 50th appearance and Harrison Mayhew (who was also red carded) playing for Crowborough for the 100th time. Rushaar Samuel-Smikle and Tom Pearson with the goals for the home team.

Crowborough visit bottom side Little Common on Saturday (28 December), with The Crows sitting 5th in the table.

In Division One, AFC Uckfield Town lost 3-1 at Forest Row in the A22 derby, Uckfield are also back in action on Saturday looking to keep a push on to the play-off places, with Godalming Town visiting the Oaks.
