Weekend Local Sporting Report

In football, Lewes rescued a late point in their 2-2 tie with fellow promotion hopefuls Wingate & Finchley, with The Rooks drawing level in the 91st minute through Gianluca Botti, as they dropped down a place into sixth but still have a game in hand on the teams nearby.

Crowborough Athletic saw their important tie away to Bexhill United postponed due to a waterlogged pitch, as did AFC Uckfield Town, which means it has now been 37 days since The Oakmen played their last match.

In the Mid Sussex League Premier, Ridgewood put up a determined but ultimately unsuccessful performance in their 5-3 defeat against the new division leaders in Balcombe, while Rotherfield impressed to claim their second league win of the season by beating Tunbridge Wells 2nd’s 3-2.

And finally in the men’s rugby, where Crowborough have claimed the local bragging rights after beating Heathfield & Waldron 15-0 away from home, as they now sit just three points behind their opponents in the table.
