Sedlescombe Rangers edged past Robertsbridge United 2-1 in a clash between the teams lying fourth and fifth respectively in the East Sussex Football League Premier Division.

All the goals came in the second half. Phil Hatch gave Sedlescombe the lead and although Curtis Coombes brought Robertsbridge level, Kasey Smith scored a superb winner for Sedlescombe.
