FA Cup picture special - Eastbourne Borough take on Blackpool

It was the biggest game in Eastbourne Borough's history - and although it ended in a 3-0 defeat to Blackpool, it was an occasion the Sports can look back on with great pride.

The National League South side held their League One visitors to 0-0 for almost an hour before two goals from Gary Madine and one from Jerry Yates put the Tangerines through. Read the match report here and Danny Bloor's verdict here but on this page and the ones linked, you can see some great pictures of the game and the day taken by Andy Pelling and Lydia Redman. Get all the action in Friday's Eastbourne Herald too.
