Newhaven FC face Little Common FC at the Trafalgar ground in the Southern Combined Premiere League

Back to the league action as the Dockers take on the Green Hill Boys just a week after beating them 5-1 in the Peter Bentley Cup 🏆away at the newly revamped Little Common Recreation Ground in Bexhill while we were up in Stoke.

Out of respect for Her Majesty The Queen, the fixture at the weekend was postponed and there was a minutes silence before kick-off . I voted for King Julien to get the gig but not sure that worked out. 👑

The Dockers started how they left off last week as big Robbo found the back of the net in the first minute. Here we go again we thought, on for a hat full. We weren't surprised when Jack Meeres headed home on 11 minutes. The Dockers seemed to settle down a bit and visitors upped their efforts and it turned in to quite a battle. There were a few casualties with Alfie being the first and Demas also going off injured.

The score was unchanged at the break and remained that way until the hour mark when the Green Men (seen here in light blue) got a reward for their efforts. Newhaven hung on to their one goal lead and even had a few very good chances themselves and with a bit of luck, held on for the win. Not their best display but 3 points in the bag. Needed to have been more ruthless while dominant early on to kill the game off and ensure any consolation is just that. It's the important 3rd goal issue again.

POTM: Alfie had a great game until subbed off for injury and his physical presence was sorely missed. Hope he's not out for long.

Also goodbye, thanks and good luck to Marley who has left us for Saltdean, he will certainly improve that team with that strength and pace. Hope the lumps in the pitch have levelled out a bit ⛰.

No sign of the ferry ⛴. Not happy 😢. Have written a formal complaint to DFDS 📝.

Hot chocolate was good scoring an 8.5/10 tonight. Lots of sugar and no sludge.🤎

See you soon
