Sussex clubs in the FA Cup – who’s out and who’s reached the first qualifying round?

The Hillians, Haywards Heath and Steyning all enjoyed home wins while Chris Simmons’ Broadbridge Heath won at Horsham YMCA.

The Sussex sides through will be joined in the next round in a fortnight by Sussex’s six Isthmian premier sides, Bognor, Hastings, Horsham, Lewes, Chichester City and Whitehawk.

Burgess Hill Town are in the first qualifying round after winning 2-1 at home to Isthmian south east division rivals Eastbourne Town.

Kieran Rowe and Martyn Box put them two up in the first half and James Waters’ second half reply could not inspire Town to save the tie, 2-1 the final score.

SCFL premier side Crowborough are out after an early Finlay Johnson goal proved the difference between them and visitors South Park Reigate.

Also out are East Grinstead, who had only a 52nd minute Oliver Spinks to show for their efforts as they lost 3-1 at home to Redhill.

Two goals in five minutes midway through the second half – scored by Darius Goldsmith and Alex Plummer – have Haywards Heath Town a 2-0 win at home to Deal Town, who play a step higher in the pyramid than Naim Rouane’s SCFL premier leaders, for whom this was a sixth straight win to start the season.

Joining Heath in the next round are Broadbridge Heath, who won 3-1 on their short trip to Horsham YMCA.

Ben Aubrey and Mason Doughty put the Isthmian south east Bears two up against the SCFL premier side, who then pulled one back through a penalty by Dean Lovegrove. But Oli Leslie made it 3-1 to secure Heath’s win.

Eastbourne United gave hosts Kingstonian a scare, going 2-1 up in the first half with Ed Ratcliffe and Matt Black only to lose 3-2.

There were six goals in the opening 35 minutes at Lancing as Jamie Hollis’ side took the lead through Charlie Gibson only to concede four, before Harry Docherty made it 4-2 – which is the way it stayed.

Shoreham lost 3-1 at Lordswood – where Tom Bold’s goal gave them late hope after they’d trailed 2-0, only for the Musselmen to concede a third in injury time.

Loxwood lost 4-0 at Margate, for whom Ben Greenhalgh netted three and ex-Lancing forward Lukas Franzen-Jones got the other.

Three Bridges earned a home replay with a 0-0 draw at Saltdean, and Steyning Town staged a second half coneback at home to Crawley Down Gatwick to win 3-1 – Alfie Rogers and Mark Goldson (2) scoring after CDG had taken a sixth-minute lead

On Sunday, two goals from Alex Laing looked to have put Littlehampton Town on course for the next round only for visitors Faversham to come from behind to snatch a 3-2 win.
