Crawley were due to visit SCFL Premier outfit Eastbourne Town tomorrow [Tuesday] evening in the third round of Sussex's premier knockout competition.

The Blue and Yellows have been awarded a home walkover and have advanced to the fourth round.

On Thursday, at a press conference before the Reds' trip to Leyton Orient, manager John Yems said he hoped to rearrange the Senior Cup clash at Eastbourne due to a plethora of injuries at The People's Pension Stadium.
