Steyning Town, Broadbridge Heath, Littlehampton Town and Bognor Regis Town fans plan their seasons
West Sussex’s quartet of step four non-leagues are busy planning their seasons after their fixtures were released.
The Isthmian South East and South Central fixtures were released at the end of last week – along with those for the Isthmian Premier.
Steyning Town and Broadbridge Heath are both in the Isthmian SE for 2026-27 with Bognor and Littlehampton Town both in the Isthmian SC.
Steyning, with Brannon O’Neill now as manager, are back in the Isthmian South East division after winning the SCFL Premier title and kick off their new step four campaign at home to Ashford United on Saturday, August 15.
The first of 10 Sussex derbies in the league comes three days later at Crowoborough.
The Christmas/New Year period brings a visit to Broadbridge Heath (Dec 28) and a home clash with Eastbourne Town (Jan 2).
Their league season ends at home to Whitstable Town on Saturday, April 17.
Broadbridge Heath will start the new Isthmian South East season at home – and unusually, in midweek.
Early-round FA Cup and FA Trophy ties have disrupted the start of the step four season and the Bears will have to wait until Tuesday, August 18, to get their campaign going – with the visit of South Park.
The good news is it’s one of three straight home games to start their league season – Horley and Peacehaven visit the Bears on Saturday 22 and Monday 31 respectively.
