New facilities will push Newhaven upwards

New 3G surface at Fort Road, home of Newhaven FC.

This time of year is just perfect for getting out to watch at least two games a week with a ton of matches to choose from and the likelihood there is going to be a cup replay or two thrown into the mix.

I had put on my list to head to Newhaven on Tuesday evening as they took on Little Common in the Southern Combination Premier Division, at the time I didn’t know it was due to be the first home game on the new 3G surface until informed afterwards.

Almost a spanner in the works however that Newhaven drew 0-0 in the FA Cup at the weekend, but that only meant Little Common were replaced as opponents by Isthmian League Sheppey Utd from the South East division.
