Eastbourne United end old year by taking point from Bexhill

Eastbourne United ended their 2021 season with a point earned from a draw against Bexhill United in the Sussex Senior Cup Final at The Polegrove stadium in Bexhill. The match took place on Saturday, January 8th, 2022.

The pitch at The Polegrove was in poor condition due to heavy rainfall and strong winds throughout the week leading up to the game. The grassy surface was covered in large patches of mud, making it difficult for players to maintain their footing and control the ball. The wind was so strong that it was reported to be blowing the buttons off shirts and causing difficulties for both sets of supporters.

Despite these challenging conditions, the match was played with great enthusiasm and passion by both teams. Bexhill United took an early lead, but Eastbourne United equalized in the second half with a well-worked goal. The game ended in a 1-1 draw, with both teams satisfied with their performance under difficult circumstances.

The Sussex Senior Cup is a prestigious competition that brings together the top non-league clubs in Sussex. It is played over several rounds, with the winner earning a place in the FA Amateur Cup. The final match of the season is always highly anticipated and attracts large crowds of fans from both teams.
