Priory bid to consolidate advantage
Published Date:

Hastings Priory will seek to preserve their lead in the Premier Division of the Sussex League today.
The men from Horntye Park Sports Complex will go in search of a third consecutive win away to second-from-bottom Chichester Priory Park.
Hastings are 13 points clear following last weekend's stunning nine-wicket defeat of Horsham, but second-placed Preston Nomads and third-placed Eastbourne have two games in hand.
"I think there's just a little bit too much to do. We've basically got to win all our games, and hope that Nomads and Eastbourne slip up," conceded captain Jason Finch.
They will be without last weekend's five-wicket hero Tim van Noort, but George Campbell will return to a side packed with batsmen and only two recognised seam bowlers.
Elsewhere, Bexhill will attempt to reignite their Division Two promotion hopes away to Haywards Heath.
Bexhill have fallen to fourth following back-to-back defeats, while Heath have risen to third on the back of three consecutive victories.
Captain Jonathan Haffenden has opted to include a second spinner alongside Chris Topp with Jamie Wicks being promoted from the seconds. Shan Abey and Ian Ellis are unavailable.
Bottom-of-the-table Sidley will entertain fifth-placed Roffey at Gullivers. Play starts at 1pm.
