Liam Upton celebrates his goal which put Rye United in front against Redhill with Ben Radley

Rye United maintained their push for the Sussex County Football League title with a home win on Saturday.

Goals in the 14th and 15th minutes from Liam Upton and Matt Maclean gave Rye a 2-0 victory over eighth-placed Redhill at a wet and windy Salts.

All of the top five were triumphant in the first Division One matches in February, including fourth-placed Hassocks, who won 1-0 at home to Sidley United with the only goal coming 20 minutes into the second half.

Bexhill United made it three successive Division Two victories with a 3-2 success at home to Mile Oak. Ross Markham, Warren Parsons and Martin Denny netted as Bexhill came from behind to lead 3-1 at half time.

A debut goal from Kevin Bird and a fourth in as many games from Gordon Cuddington gave Westfield a 2-0 lead at home to Southwick only for the visitors to fight back for a 2-2 draw with the wind in the second half.

Little Common conceded two late goals to go down 3-2 at home to Eastbourne United AFC after Callum Wooller and Dominic Cruttenden had turned a 1-0 half time deficit into a 2-1 lead.

Full reports on all these matches will appear in Friday’s Observers.
