weekend.
On Sunday our Under 16’s swept the
boards at the local Ratton Rangers
tournament beating Eastbourne Town in
the final.
This was followed by Under 10 black
success for the third year running at the
Seaford Tournament on bank holiday
Monday. This is a great achievement for
Ade and Iain after the disappointment of
going out in the semi’s of the league
tournament the week before, on a golden
goal.
Congratulations to both team on their
success.
Carnival Update
I am pleased to say we are now back on track
with this and more information will become
available shortly.
The carnival procession will start from
Fishermans Green at 4pm on Saturday May 25 th
and will lead us up to the western lawns.
Our meeting time and venue will be advised
shortly with all relevant information.
My thanks to Ron Jeapes and Dean Birchmore
who have kindly volunteered to be our ‘supplied’
road closure marshals.
Without these gentlemen stepping forward our
carnival entry would have been cancelled.
