Many of our local matches were postponed due to waterlogged pitches. South Park Reigate’s game was one of the few which went ahead but they lost 3-0 away to Guernsey.
In League One, Crawley Town host Birmingham City tonight. Kick off is at 8 o’clock.

Three Bridges Football Club is coming home for Christmas! The new 3G pitch at Jubilee Field is ready to be used and the club will host Burgess Hill Town on Boxing Day.
The work to convert the grass pitch to a 3G surface started in August; during the work, the men’s home games have been played at the Bauvill Stadium, home of Chatham Town, who’ve had a 3G surface since 2019. The women’s team have been using The New Defence in Horley as their home venue.
An official opening event to celebrate Three Bridges’ new pitch at Jubilee Field will take place in January.
A 69 year old woman has been arrested on suspicion of murder after a man was found dead at his home in East Grinstead.
Police had responded to a report of a domestic incident at the address in Paddock Gardens on Thursday evening. The two people were known to each other and it is being treated as an isolated incident.
There will be an increased police presence in the area as enquiries continue.
A man has been jailed for committing two business burglaries in Crawley.
Harvey Brackpool broke into Tesco Express in Commonwealth Drive on 8 November and stole cigarettes and a charity box. Then on 10 November he broke into Starbucks in Queens Square and stole a charity box.
The 22-year-old, of no fixed address, was arrested on 9 December and charged the same day to appear at Crawley Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday 10 December.
He pleaded guilty to both offences and was sentenced to 24 weeks’ imprisonment and ordered to pay £100 compensation.
Brackpool was described by the court as having a flagrant disregard for people and their property.
Chief Inspector Steve Turner, District Commander for Crawley and Mid Sussex, said: “We are committed to bringing more offenders to justice and safeguarding our community, including local businesses from burglars.
“Our teams worked tirelessly to ensure Brackpool was charged, and this swift conviction highlights our strong stance against burglars.
“We will continue to target suspects and ensure communities feel safe and protected.”
