Bexhill 5th team hosted Worthing 4 on Friday 17th April, in each team’s final matches in this season’s Division 4 – it was a ‘clean sweep’ but as usual that result masks tough competition. The match was notable for its warm and friendly atmosphere and we are grateful for our opponents making the long journey and arriving here before our own side!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
