Premier Division leaders Saltdean the only visitors to the Beacon in December
It will be lonely at the Beacon this Christmas as Hassocks play only one Southern Combination League Premier Division home game in December.
The month gets underway with a trip to AFC Uckfield Town on Saturday 4th December. Uckfield were the first opponents who the Robins picked up a point against this season when the sides drew 2-2 at the Beacon back in August.
Hassocks head east again a week later, visiting the Sunshine Coast for a date with Eastbourne Town on Saturday 11th December.
You have to go back to February 2006 to find the last time the Robins left the Saffrons with three points, a 1-0 victory delivered by a Stuart Faith header.
Current Premier Division leaders Saltdean United provide the opposition at the Beacon on Saturday 18th December for that one home fixture, which also happens to be our final game before Christmas.
The Tigers gave an indication of their intentions to be involved in the title race when hammering Hassocks 6-0 back in the opening week of the season.
December is rounded off with a trip to Crawley Down Gatwick on Monday 27th as the traditional post-Christmas fixture is pushed back 24 hours owning to Boxing Day falling on a Sunday this year.
It will be the first Premier Division meeting of the season between the clubs, although they have already met in the Sussex Senior Cup when the Anvils won 2-0 at the Beacon.
The Under 23s have just two fixtures in December. They travel to Alfold on Thursday 2nd for a 7:30pm kick off before hosting Steyning Town on Thursday 9th at 7:45pm.
December for the Under 18s starts away at Montpelier Villa on Sunday 5th with a slightly later start time than normal of 11:45am at Culver Road.
Back-to-back home games then round off 2021 for the Young Robins against Worthing United on Sunday 12th and AFC Varndeanians on Sunday 19th.
The Ladies also have a date at Villa to look forward to on Sunday 12th, followed by Roffey at the Beacon on Sunday 19th.
Finally, the Veterans are due to host Brockham on Sunday 5th. Kick off time and venue for that one are yet to be decided and as is always the case with vets football, could be subject to change right up until the last minute.
If you would like to come and watch Nick Newman and his side in action, then please keep an eye on our social media channels in the run up to the game which will hopefully carry details as when we have them.
