Hassocks’ Southern Combination League Premier Division clash with AFC Uckfield Town has been rearranged for Tuesday 19th November 2019.
Kick off will be at 7.45pm at the Beacon, giving the Robins three consecutive home games. Four days after the Oakmen’s visit and Newhaven are set to visit Mid Sussex Saturday 23rd followed by Peacehaven & Telscombe a week later.
The original meeting with Uckfield had been due to take place on Saturday 19th October but fell to a waterlogged pitch after a morning inspection of the Beacon by the match referee. Mid Sussex had been hit by a deluge of rain in the 48 hours preceding the game.
Last season, it took four attempts to get the Oakmen’s visit to Hassocks played. The first fixture scheduled for November was moved due to Uckfield’s continued involvement in the FA Vase. Anthony Storey’s side embarked on an historic run which was only ended in January at the fourth round stage by Windsor.
The second and third attempts both fell to wet weather with the game eventually being played at the fourth time of asking, Uckfield winning 2-1 thanks to goals from Dee Okojie and Taylor Maddock. Phil Johnson got the Robins’ consolation.
We’re still waiting a full release of the Under 23’s fixtures for November with only two games pencilled in so far. Dave John takes his side to Horsham YMCA on Thursday 7th November in the second round of the Sussex Under 23 Challenge Cup with a 7.30pm kick off at Gorings Mead.
That will be followed a week later by East Preston visiting the Beacon as the Robins look to put a disappointing run of form behind them.
Any further additions to the fixture list will be announced on our website and social media feeds as and when they happen, so please keep checking back for updates.
