Testimonial dinner for Chris Nash at Hove

Last night I attended a testimonial dinner for Sussex stalwart Chris Nash. The testimonial has lesser importance these days particularly those who can play t20 around the world. Take Sussex pace bowler Tymal Mills. Despite his inability to bowl more than one session a few years ago because of his [...]

Sussex Sharks lose at Eastbourne

Yesterday I went to the Saffrons Ground, Eastbourne for the Royal London fixture with Gloucestershire. Sussex had not played there for 17 years. County cricket is what it says and the counties rather than be metro centric should reach out to other grounds. Arundel is always popular and Sussex have [...]

Southampton 0 Arsenal 2

Although Southampton is not that far from Brighton, a direct, picturesque but slow rail trip along the coast or a car journey down the A/M27, I do not get there that often. This said, I have great admiration for their football team. Over the last few years their owner has passed away, they have [...]

Not a great time for Sussex Sport

With Brighton HAFC losing their last 2 matches thus downgrading their chances of being crowned champions and a stuttering start to the season by Sussex CCC the last fortnight has been troubling for us Sussex sports enthusiasts.

Beginning and end of seasons.

Last Tuesday I was at the Amex to see Brighton beat Birmingham 3-1. It was hardly a vintage performance but 6 points were taken from Blackburn and a lowly Midland club whilst Fulham only managed 1 against Blackburn and a lowly midland club. Winning ugly is the name of the game or rather promotion. [...]

Brighton 3 Derby 0

After the reversals at home to Newcastle and away at Nottingham Forest there were fears of the Albion choking but wins at Rotherham and last night over Derby dispelled them. The Seagulls were on cruise control and easily overcame Derby with a 3-0 win. One of the strengths of this side is the [...]

Brighton 1 Newcastle 2

This game lived up to its top-of the-table-billing in a high octane encounter but it was a measure of luck that swung the game the Magpies way. The Seagulls took an early lead from a penalty. It seemed harsh but the referee said he had warned the players about holding in the box and then penalised [...]

Brighton 3 Reading 0

Brighton’s victory Saturday night took us to the summit of Championship which position will be tested next Tuesday with the biggest game of the season in the Championship when Newcastle come a-calling. It was a typical cagey opening start. Sam Baldock hit the post with a twenty yard curling [...]

Brighton 1 Ipswich 1

Few Seagull fans would deny that a draw was a fair reflection of the play. Ipswich took an early lead when skipper Luke Chambers bravely got his head to a trickily flighted free kick from Tom Lawrence whose crosses from the right perpetually caused problems. Tomer Hemed equalised from the the spot [...]

Meet the new CEO of Sussex CCC

Last night I was invited to a reception to meet the new CEO of Sussex CCC Rob Andrew. Although he has a first class century to his name, he is better known for the oval rather than the white or red round ball. After a distinguished career as fly half for Wasps, Newcastle Falcons and England he [...]
