Wickers take on Langney Wanderers at Haywards Heath Town’s Hanbury Park home (11am) as the pair fight it out to be crowned Southern Combination League Division 1 Challenge Cup winners.

Southwick claimed the then Sussex County League Division 3 version back in 2015 – along with the league title – during a double-winning campaign.

Wickers now have the chance to make it two divisional cup prizes over the past three seasons in the Division 1 Cup final.

The teams met last Tuesday with Langney running out victors but Southwick boss John Kilgarriff is not too fussed by that result.

He said: “This final is massive for everyone involved with the club. We played them just over a week ago and lost but this game will be totally different.

“It’s a one-off game with a cup at stake at the end. I think picking the squad will be the hardest part but it’s a decision I must make. We’ll give them a good game if we turn up but that’s our problem.”
