The Parafix Sussex Senior Challenge Cup second round tie will finally go ahead at The Pilot Field after being switched because of two postponements at their opponents’ ground last month.

A United side sitting 18th in Ryman Football League Division One South plays its football two levels above an Uckfield team lying second in Macron Store Sussex County Football League Division Two.

United manager Dom Di Paola made a handful of changes to his starting line-up between Saturday and Monday matches last week, and it would come as no surprise if he did the same again.

Jordan Woodley is cup-tied having played for Ringmer in the previous round, scoring four goals in fact during the 6-1 thrashing of Rustington.

Kick-off at The Pilot Field is 7.45pm, and admission is £6 for adults and concessions, and free for under-21s. The winners will be at home to seemingly all-conquering Burgess Hill Town in round three.
