Eastbourne Town defeat overhadowed by serious injury

They are stuck on four points after four Southern Combination premier division games after their latest fixture ended in a 1-0 loss at AFC Uckfield.

Daniel Perry scored the only goal 15 minutes from time in a game marred by a nasty head injury duffered by Eastbourne’s Zac Attwood.

He was taken to hospital but later discharged to recover at home. Town thanked everyone who tended to the player.

Eastbourne Town host Hassocks tomorrow.

Eastbourne United have a big game – it’s third versus second when they make the short trip to Saltdean.

Langney are without an SCFL premier win so far but will aim to put that right when they visit Alfold.

Is it Langney's turn for FA Vase glory?.
