After all the penultimate week’s fixtures in the Sussex Premier League were completely washed out, without a ball being bowled at any of the games, there is still everything to play for on Saturday – at both ends of the table.

But in lower divisions, the washout confirmed a number of champions - including Division 2 leaders Ifield.

In the top division, plenty of clubs are involved in either the final push for the title or the battle to avoid relegation, the remaining matches being on a 50 overs a side win/lose format.

Roffey remain in pole position with 378 points – ten clear of Middleton.

With just 30 more points available, they are the only two clubs with the possibility of winning the league following Three Bridges’ 49-point penalty over an admin error related to overseas star Matt Boyle.

With Roffey visiting struggling Cuckfield, Middleton travel to third-placed West Chiltington.

Roffey skipper Sam Henderson told the County Times: “One more win and we’re there!”

With only the club finishing bottom to be relegated, there is all still very much to play for at the tightly bunched foot of the table.

The last five placings are - 6th Haywards Heath (273 points), 7th Horsham (258), 8th Cuckfield (257), 9th Bognor (253), with Hastings currently bottom on 248.

The crucial fixtures in the survival battle on Saturday are Bognor v Haywards Heath, Preston Nomads v Hastings and Three Bridges v Horsham.

Meanwhile the washout confirmed Ifield as Division 2 champions – they lead the standings by 32 points with only one to play so can’t be caught. They will return to the Premier League in 2027.

Similarly Steyning are Division 3 West champions and Glynde have won Division 3 East – so both will be in Division 2 next season.

Crowhurst Park had already won Division 4 East but the Division 4 West title race goes to the final day.
