The Kent Street club clinched the Gilbert Print Plate courtesy of a three matches to one victory over Crowborough Beacon at Mid Sussex GC.

Sedlescombe edged out Cowdray Park on the first extra hole in the semi-finals last month, while Crowborough saw off Ifield 3- in the other last four tie.
Sedlescombe won 3- at home to Waterhall in the quarter-finals, on the first extra hole away to Piltdown in the last 16 and 3-1 at home to The Nevill in round two.
Run by the Sussex County Golf Union, the Gilbert Print Plate is contested by those clubs eliminated in the first and second rounds of the Cyril Blake Cup.
