FOOTBALL: The 1st team finished their Macron East Sussex Football League Premier Division at home to Hollington United last Saturday and despite their bottom of the table position The Bridge could have taken the lead if Tom Ripley’ 15th minute shot had not gone straight into the opposing keepers hands and then just a minute later a shot from man of the match Justin Mewett was saved. Both sides had chances before The Bridge conceded 6 minutes before the break. The second period saw the visitors take command with a goal on 67 minutes and then have a goal disallowed on 84 minutes but they did secure all three points when poor defending let them in on 88 minutes. The Annual Presentation will be on Saturday 30th May 2015 @ Robertsbridge Club 8p.m.
