Originally I hadn’t planned in anything for Tuesday evening, with the season getting closer for a few there wasn’t a full fixture list locally. In the end I opted to head out but staying in Sussex for the midweek fixture.
With a later start for sides above Step 5 and those underneath in Step 6 many are at different levels in preparation given some still have two weeks before they kick off the new season.
Pagham and Littlehampton Town are two at opposite ends, the former beginning league games this weekend whilst the latter have a week’s wait for an FA Cup game, their Isthmian South East campaign underway seven days later.
