Brighton 0 Everton 1

Brighton’s run of poor home form continued – our last home win was in November. David Moyes, who has 700 managerial games under his belt, did a number over the considerably less experienced Fabian Hürzeler. Surprisingly Minteh was overlooked for Grouda, but the latter was ineffectual [...]

Ipswich 0 Brighton 2

Brighton ended their 8 match Premier run without a win with a hard-fought but unattractive victory at Portman Road.  Brighton have been bedevilled by injuries: Igor, Danny Welbeck , James Milner and Jack Hinshelwood are still out but fortunately Joao Pedro was passed fit. The first half was [...]

Brighton 0 Brentford 0

The Seagulls winless streak extend to 6 games amd although no reason to panic as we are ninth but nonetheless doubts must be gathering whether Fabian Hürrzeler is up to the job.  Brighton have shelled out near enough £200m on new players whom Hürzeler rotates.  Against Brentford,  Matt [...]

What’s going wrong at Brighton?

Some might argue “Nothing at all” as the Seagulls, at the time of writing, are 9th. Yet they are winless in 4 games and have lost the last two London derbies 3-1 to Fulham and Crystal Palace – the latter, on Sunday, being hard to take as it was against our great rivals. We have [...]

Sussex Sharks made easy work of beating Lancashire Lightning to reach the final. Lancashire Lightning could not call upon Jos Buttler but still fielded T20 regulars Phil Salt and Liam Livingstone. When Ollie Robinson bowled Phil Salt (recently of the parish) first ball you felt this was Sussex [...]

Sussex sport triumphant

It was hot by the coast and both cricket and football teams of Sussex enjoyed their moment in the sun. Brighton earned a creditable draw at the Emirates against Arsenal. New Head Coach Fabian Hürzeler is bedding in well and the Seagulls were active in the transfer marker. Sadly £30m signing Matt [...]

A day at Arundel

Yesterday I attended a “friendly” cricket match at Arundel’s Castle Ground between Sir Tim Rice’s Invincibles XI and the Weekenders. I have put “friendly” in inverted commas as the Weekenders were taking the match seriously and competitively. I say this as I was in [...]

Sharks & Seagulls

Sussex Sharks have lost 7/7 games in the Mertro One Day Cup a format they were the first to dominate. Personally – and I am sure I speak for many supporters – I’m not that disappointed. Some of the defeats were well-fought contests but, most importantly, we keep our powder dry for the [...]

Sharks narrowly beaten by Warwickshire in One Day Competition

Yesterday I was invited into the Sussex boardroom for a one day game against Warwickshire. Top of the second division of the Championship and in the quarter finals of the T20, our resources are stretched by another competition and it showed. After a platform of 54-0, our batting collapsed. This [...]
