Little Common crashed out of the Sussex County League Division Two cup after a dissapointing performance led to a 5-1 defeat at the hands of Seaford Town. Playing with the wind in the first half, Common started the better of the two teams and almost took the lead in the 3rd minute when Charlie Bachellier saw a goal bound header from a Chas Lister corner tipped over the bar. Jordan Wood saw an effort flash across the goal and Jamie Crone was unable to get his shot away after outsmarting a Town defender. Seaford soon found their way back into the game and Jon Saunders was called upon to tip away a goal bound chip. The scoring was opened in the 27th minute when a delivery into the box was palmed away by Saunders and a looping wind assisted clearance fell to Morgan who made no mistake from two yards. Common then pressed the self destruct button conceeding three goals in the space of nine minutes to effectively end the contest before the interval. First Dallaway was given time and space to pick out the top corner in the 35th minute before Morgan burst through unmarked to knock in the third. Dallaway added a fourth a minute before half time leaving Common a mountain to climb in the second period. The second half was a much more even affair with both teams having opportunities to add to the score. Wood saw an effort just drift wide of the post before forcing the Town keeper into a smart save whilst at the other end only the cross bar prevented Town from adding a fifth. Jake Sherwood headed a goal bound effort off of the line before Ben Eldridge reduced the deficit with a neat finish at the far post. Common were unable to find another through and the scoring was completed five minutes from time when Morton fired into the net.

Squad: Saunders, Steward, Sherwood, Lister, Eldridge, Thomson, Wooller, Bachellier (Hammond), Crone (Collier), Wood, Trickett.
