The Southdown Sports Club is host this weekend to the Sussex Mens Cup Finals. Lewes will have four teams in the finals with the 3rd XI, Under 21's and Under 16's playing on Saturday and the Veterans playing on Sunday. The 3rd XI and Veterans will have the toughest finals hosting Chichester and Brighton and Hove respectively who have strong squads. The Under 21's will hope to retain their trophy against Horsham whilst the Under 16's face East Grinstead in their final.

Entrance is free and there are refreshments available throughout the weekend so the club is anticipating some good crowds. The main final is a repeat of last year with Chichester facing Brighton and Hove.

The Lewes 4th team lost their final league game away to League 2 Champions Horsham 2 -1. Lewes matched their opponents for long periods with goalkeeper Chris Sharpe outstanding. They equalised midway throught the second half when Billy Smart's hard penalty corner strike went through a crowd of players but agonisingly conceded the winner with five minutes remaining.

Last Saturday night 100 members enjoyed their annual dinner and dance at the Southdown Club. Former Club Chairman Clive Stillman a guest of present Chairman Stephen Fuller presented the Maija Hilton Memorial Trophy to Sara Riley for her outstanding contribution to the Club over many years.
