Sussex Development League East Division Eastbourne Kestrels 0 Lewes Lions 5

Hailsham Juniors 0 Lewes Lions 5
The curse of the little person! The Lions are getting a phobia of small teams. As soon as they think they can walk a game they narrow, dribble past five players and lose it. This was a grim game for so many reasons but fortunately the Lions had . . . → Read More: Hailsham Vs Lions 10/12/11

Sussex Development League Mid Sussex Colts 4 Lewes Lions 1 (Tapping)
