Valiant display from battling Blues

Sidley United gave a decent account of themselves against the professionals of Brighton & Hove Albion reserves on Wednesday night.

The Sussex County League Division One side produced a resolute display to restrict the Sussex Senior Cup holders to a 3-0 victory and just four shots on target in this third round tie.

Albion inevitably dominated possession throughout and their football was a joy to watch, but they struggled to penetrate a determined Sidley defence which was superbly marshalled by captain Danny Spice.
