United prepare for new season

BEXHILL United have secured the signatures of midfielders Benji Symes and Ray Farran from East Sussex League club Peche Hill Select.

Manager Len Watkins said: "Symes is an excellent signing and I have been trying to get him since last season and Farran will be a good signing for the club."

United played in the 4-2 pre-season friendly defeat at the hands of a strong Eastbourne Borough team last week, with goals from Oliver Leigh and Kris Kayne.

Meanwhile behind-the-scenes, United have secured a new sponsor in accountants Ashdown Hurrey in a one year deal.
