Football derby is postponed
The Sussex County Football League Division One fixture has been called-off for a third time (the first was way back on Boxing Day) because of a waterlogged pitch at The Salts.
The postponement is bad news all round because both clubs, but Rye in particular, are already facing hectic schedules to complete their matches following one of the worst winters for many years.

Hastings United’s fixture at home to Harrow Borough in the Ryman Football League Premier Division, meanwhile, is subject to a 3pm pitch inspection. News of the outcome of that inspection will follow in due course.
