After the euphoria of winning a place in the Final of the FA Vase at Wembley in May, Littlehampton Town came back down to earth to play the games to win the Premier Division of the Southern Combination Football League. One immediate hurdle to overcome was the trip to the "Saffrons" to play sixth placed Eastbourne Town which was no easy task. Littlehampton Town failed to clear the hurdle of Eastbourne Town as they incurred their first defeat since January in a thoroughly enjoyable game on a superb playing surface. Eastbourne Town took the lead straight from the kick off with a goal from Louis Veneti which they took to half time. A penalty converted by Joseph Benn soon after the start of the second half brought Littlehampton Town level, but it was not until virtually the last kick of the game that substitute Festos Kamara gave Eastbourne Town a 2-1 win over the Premier Division Leaders and FA Vase Finalists. The "Golds" remain in first place in the Premier Division level on games but with a two point lead over Saltdean Utd.
