Goals in good supply as East Sussex League continues in entertaining style

In the Premier Division, Battle Town maintained their perfect start with a hard-fought 3-2 victory over Sandhurst. Alfie Field and Ashley Wright were on target for the visitors, but Battle did enough to claim a second successive league victory.

Rye Town also made it two wins from two as they edged a tight encounter against Ninfield. Anthony Hughes scored the only goal of the game to secure a 1-0 victory for Rye and continue their excellent opening to the campaign.

There was nothing to separate Wadhurst United and Bexhill Amateur Athletic Club, who shared four goals in a 2-2 draw. Morgan Norris and Reece Yeoman were the Wadhurst marksmen as Bexhill recorded their second successive draw.

There were some eye-catching scorelines in Division One, particularly for the two Bexhill-based sides.

Little Common II followed up their remarkable 7-5 opening-day victory with an emphatic 7-0 success away to St Leonards Social. Taylor Norton and Igor Wydra both helped themselves to hat-tricks, with Gus Rose completing the scoring. Common have now found the net an extraordinary 14 times in their opening two league matches, with Wydra accounting for five of them.

Bexhill Amateur Athletic Club II also enjoyed a memorable afternoon as they bounced back from their opening defeat with an impressive 6-1 victory away to Pevensey & Westham. Dexter Bawn and Ash Elphick both struck twice, with Jay Stovell-Davis and Dave Ammoun also finding the net.

The Junior Club Tackleway II collected maximum points on their travels as they edged out Mountfield United 2-1. Ellis Dunga was on target for Mountfield, but the hosts were unable to build on their convincing opening-day victory.

Hollington United II and Herstmonceux had to settle for a point apiece following a 1-1 draw.

In Division Two, Ninfield II produced the standout result as they recorded a convincing 4-1 victory away to SC Pass & Move Arrows II.

Ticehurst continued their unbeaten start with a narrow 1-0 victory over Battle Town II, Shane Bumstead scoring the decisive goal, while Parkfield and Northiam 75 shared the spoils following a 1-1 draw.

There was no shortage of entertainment in Division Three, where all four matches ended in away victories.

Robertsbridge United II edged an entertaining five-goal encounter at Hawkhurst United, winning 3-2. Bobby Baldock and Mark Mitchell were on target for Hawkhurst, but their efforts were not enough to prevent the visitors taking all three points.

Herstmonceux II continued their tremendous start with a 4-1 victory away to Hollington Hawks. Max Attrell struck twice, with William Farrier and Jake Garner also on target for the visitors, while Charlie Swan replied for Hawks. Herstmonceux have now scored ten goals in winning their opening two matches.

Icklesham Casuals have made an equally impressive start. They followed up their opening-day victory with an emphatic 5-0 success away to Hollington United Select. George Stoodley bagged a brace, while Kieron Buss, Callum Hadaway and Lee Pierce completed the scoring. Icklesham have therefore collected six points from six without conceding a goal.

Little Common III completed the quartet of away victories with an impressive 4-1 success at Sedlescombe Rangers II. Anthony Atkin, Rafael Dos Santos, Ryan Spiers and Zak Bolton shared the Common goals, with Charlie Freeman replying for Sedlescombe.
