BEXHILL BIDDING FOR THE TOP

BEXHILL can move to the top of the Sussex Second Division if they defeat visiting Cuckfield on Saturday (June 1).

The two clubs finished bottom of the league last year, but both have brought in new players who have had an immediate impact on their fortunes.

All-rounder Sam Roberts has spearheaded Bexhill's assault on the league, with the likes of Martin Barry and Mark Nightingale beginning to find their form.

Roberts said: "I won't be asking for anything more than we've been giving in the last few weeks, hopefully people will continue to improve at the rate they have been.

"We've only played one game at home and won that so it would be nice to keep it going."

One player to watch out for will be Zimbabwean A player Jason Oates who surprised Bexhill last season with a speedy 140 not out.

Nightingale is unavailable for the weekend so Alan Cowley and Rakesh Patel are likely to make the squad.

Bexhill also face Preston Nomads in the Sussex Cup on Sunday.
