Christmas Capers: is tonight Friday 4th December, this is another night in Robertsbridge to show how lovely a community we have. Shops are open until 9pm; there are open houses, street activities, nice foods and the odd tipple available. The Bonfire Society Christmas Draw tickets are on sale and one of the 3 Hampers will be in the Floral Boutique for you to see what you might win. This is a great way to get into the festive fun and feeling and it needs supporting. There will be many items for you to buy for Christmas pressies, without even leaving the High Street.

FOOTBALL: The Bridge 1st team travelled to Division 1 side Crowhurst in the 3rd Round of the Birchwood Group Challenge Cup. The hosts had already dumped two Premier Division sides out of the competition so we knew it would be a hard match and we had a good chance to open the scoring after 10 minutes when Ben Hardy was pulled down in the area but Guy Ballard’ spot kick was saved by the home keeper however a cross by young Ben Thorpe 5 minutes later found Adam Hardy to head home. Both sides had chances during the half but Ballard made up for his earlier miss to double The Bridge’ lead with a great finish five minutes before the break. Ten minutes after the re-start Ballard headed home a corner which stirred the hosts into attacking but man of the match Michael Stone marshalled his defence to keep them at bay and a semi-final place was secured five minutes from the end when Phil Green tapped in at the far post for a comfortable win. Tomorrow the 1st team are away to Mountfield United for a Premier Division match K.O. 2p.m. while the 2nd team travel to Division 2 side Peasmarsh United in the 2nd Round of the Paul Mitchell Plastering Contractors sponsored Robertsbridge Charity Junior Cup K.O. 1.30p.m.
