During the week there were four games played in the Premier Division of the Southern Counties Football League which were postponed earlier in the season due to Cup matches.

Midhurst and Easebourne were looking for another home win against a struggling Lingfield but the result was not what they wanted. A single goal by "Rambo" gave Lingfield a deserved 1-0 away victory after a good performance

A resurgent Newhaven were looking for more points being at home to Little Common. Newhaven got off to a lightning start with a goal from Lee Robinson after one minute. The lead was doubled a few minutes later when Jack Meeres scored. Little Common fought back in the second half with a goal from Lewis Hole. Although the lead was reduced Newhaven ended with a 2-1 home victory and moved up to fifth place in the Division.

Both teams are near the top of the Division and both have the same amount of points so the result could go either way. After a goalless first half with several good chances to two decent footballing teams expectations were high for the second half. In the early minutes of the second half Archie Goddard collected a rebound and slotted the ball into the goal. Towards the final whistle, Joshua Neathey put the result safe when he curled the ball over the advancing goalkeeper into the goal. With this 2-0 away victory Horsham YMCA moved to the top of the Division on goal difference above local rivals Broadbridge Heath.

Saltdean were looking for their second win of the season at home to Eastbourne Town after a good cup win and that is what they achieved. As the game was coming to an end and still goalless, Mitchell Hewens stole the ball to score and gave Saltdean United a 1-0 home victory and their first clean sheet of the season and moved another place up the Division.
