Sidley keeper out for five weeks

JON Gardner is out for up to five weeks after fracturing his ribs in last week's Sussex Senior Cup defeat at the hands of Eastbourne Town.

The goalkeeper had to come off five minutes from time as Sidley slumped to a 4-1 defeat.

Danny Poole took over between the posts as the Blues gained their revenge against Town in the RUR Charity Cup in midweek and is expected to continue when Chichester City United visit Gullivers in the league on Saturday November 30.

Bexhill United visit Uckfield Town at the weekend with Guy Bentley and Oliver Leigh both missing due to injury.
