The pitch was declared playable at the "Costa Del Saffrons" where Eastbourne Town played their home fixture against Bexhill Town having lost the away fixture earlier in the season. They did however narrowly beat Bexhill Utd in an early round of the FA Vase. Towards the end of the first half, Bexhill United were awarded a corner and from the resulting corner ball, Stephen Okoh headed the ball into the goal to give the "Pirates" a slender lead at half time. Late drama at the "Saffrons" with the latest of equalisers well into time added on as Eastbourne Town finally scored with a scrambled goal by Delwin Duah to make the final score 1-1 with a point to both mid-table teams.
