Crunch time for H&B

The William Parker-based rugby team require a single win from their final two matches make sure of second place in Sussex Division One and a meeting with their counterparts from the Kent League with a place in London League Division Four up for grabs.

Roger Stanley's side hope to tie it up when they entertain mid-table Pulborough on Saturday March 29.

The West Sussex side, however, are unlikely to be in any mood to roll over despite not figuring in the promotion picture. They have already got the better of H&B twice on their own patch this season but Hastings & Bexhill will be hoping they too can make home advantage tell.

Should H&B lose tomorrow their fate could come down to a potential winner-takes-all showdown with nearest pursuers Seaford in two weeks time.
