Spurs 2 Brighton HAFC 1

Brighton played doggedly in this defeat last night at the new Spurs stadium. There were 2 surprise omissions in the line up: keeper Matt Ryan was on the bench and forward Neil Maupay not even in the eighteen. One can only think this was for disciplinary reasons. Skipper and centre back Lewis Dunk [...]

Sharks lose in quarters

Sussex Sharks lost their T20 blast quarter final to Lancashire Lightning by 45 runs at Hove. Lancashire posted 140, a low target.  However in reply we only amassed 95, only two getting into double figures. It was an ignominious performance to mark the final game of Dizzy Gillespie before he [...]

Brighton 2 Manchester United 3

The Seagulls can count themseves unlucky to lose this one. Leandro Trossard struck the frame of the United goal three times and the VAR decision that Neil Maupay handled the ball led to a winning United penalty after the final whistle. Still, the Seagulls, who have played well in every game this [...]

Sussex Sharks triumph

Sussex maintained their unbeaten record in the Vitality T20 with a 3 wicket, last over, victory last night over Middlesex. Even without Chris Jordan and Jofra Archer on England duty we have a powerful T20 pace attack with Tymal Mills, Ollie Robinson, David Wiese and George Garton. Spinners Will [...]

Gillespie, Garton & goings on at Sussex CCC

I was going to open my post with a report on an enthralling match yesterday in which Sussex lost in the Bob Willis Trophy to Essex but this was overshadowed by the news that coach Jason “Dizzy” Gillespie is leaving the club at the end of this season. I suspect that this is one case where the [...]

Sussex Sport

Both Brighton HAFC and Sussex CCC are in a period of transition. I can see some old faces departing and the younger ones taking their place. Brighton avoided relegation but gave us a few scares on the way. Expectedly, we were well beaten by Manchester United, Manchester City and Liverpool but [...]

Seagulls survive

It would take a series of extraordinary results now to deprive Brighton of their senior status. This was achieved by a gritty draw 1- 1 at Southampton last night. The Seagulls had the better of the first half, the old warhorse Glenn Murray flicked on a header, Neil Maupay worked an opening and [...]

Brighton 1 Liverpool 3

Brighton have now lost successively at the Amex to Manchester United and Liverpool. Against Liverpool last night the Seagulls were 2 down within 9 minutes and I feared the worst. In fact Brighton rallied, Leandro Trossard pulled one back before half time but a late Salah goal put the game beyond [...]

An evening for Sussex Cricket Foundation

Despite my great reservations about Zoom expressed this week I attended an evening on it last night to raise money for the Sussex Cricket Foundation. A specialist company on Zoom events organised the logistics and you could see the immediate difference in professionalism. The event started bang on [...]

Trouble zooming up

Like some of you and all of the Rust contributors I had never heard of Zoom 3 months ago. Now it is an indispensable means of communication and its net worth as a company more than the seven biggest airlines put together. Yet I don’t like it. An enterprising lady in our Spanish class set up [...]
