Division 2 winners Golds will face the division-higher title winners hoping to banish their final hoodoo.

Bennett said: “To be fair, we have got nothing to lose as not many people expect us to win and there is no pressure, really.

“We played Peacehaven in the quarter-finals of the RUR Cup and were 2-0 up until late on, and things transpired against us and we ended up losing 3-2.

“I think the difference is against Seaford (in the Division 2 Cup final) everyone expected us to win, this time, no-one does.

“We are doing things a bit differently as well and will be wearing a shirt and tie, hopefully, to get us in a different frame of mind.”

The final at Culver Road, Lancing, kicks off at 7.30pm.
