[Football] Local Football - Forthcoming Matches

I used to go to Steyning a lot . . ( not just to school!) . . . I had an autograph book full circa 1981 when BHA played there for a pre season friendly.

It’s been spruced up the last few years, 3G pitch, small stands but I bet it’ll still look familiar.

what's the situation with Dean Hammond at Worthing? He signed towards the end of last season but the season was cancelled before he had a chance to play. Is he signed on for this season?

I happened to listen to the "Football, the Albion and Me" extra podcast a couple of days ago (speaking to Dean Hammond about Lallana's signing by Albion). Hammond had appeared on a full-length episode a few weeks before.

Hammond said that his involvement was as much geared around being a presence in the changing room and that there was no guarantee he was actually going to play, anyway. He mentioned that he had been talking with Adam Hinshelwood, but it was uncertain whether he would re-join for the coming season.

Steyning is a superb club, both my kids played U18s there and elder in the Seniors

I played for SS as a kid, always had a soft spot for it . . . Always been dissapointed how poor Shoreham FC is by comparisson to its neighbours. SOmewhat compounded by how the youth team has been run/managed and Zef jr has subsequently walked away from it all.

I played for Steyning 40 years ago I think we were in County 2. Had a very good centre back Manville who was a club legend

Bet he was developed by Leeds though !

Any fixtures on Saturday?

Definitely over 100 I reckon. Nice to.see El Abd playing

Yes they fully sold the allowed capacity of 150. I just managed to get in and never thought I’d run the risk of not getting into a Newhaven match or any non league match!

Upper Beeding took the trophy. The wind was a major factor. A late 30 yard equaliser from Beeding took the game to penalties which Beeding won in the shoot out. One proper skier from Steyning. Good to be back watching live football - close to 100 there. All socially distanced on a windy night. First league match Tuesday 8th with a visit from The Tigers.

Was great to be back watching football live. Shame the Barrowmen ****ed it up royally by letting in a last minute equaliser, and then coming over all Southgate in the penalties.
