January date set for Robins meeting with league leaders

Hassocks will host high flying Horsham YMCA in the new year after their meeting with the Premier Division title challengers was rearranged for Saturday 12th January.

The tie had originally been due to take place on Saturday 1st December but was one of four games scheduled for the Beacon that week that were lost to Storm Diana.



The first of those was the game against AFC Uckfield that had been due to take place on Tuesday 27th November and now takes place this coming Tuesday while the Under 23s fixture against Southwick that had been due to be played 48 hours later was also lost.

Diana’s final victim was the Under 18s meeting against Lancing on Sunday 2nd December which was postponed in the wake of the first team postponement.

No new date has been set for either the Under 23s or the Under 18s lost fixtures.

January 12th was one of the Saturdays sensibly left blank when the Southern Combination League’s seasons fixtures were released at the start of the campaign to cater for any postponements in the first half of the season.

The scheduling of YM’s visit means that Hassocks will now begin 2019 with back-to-back home games with East Preston set to visit a week previously on January 5th.

Kick off will be at the normal time of 3pm.
