Broadbridge Heath visit in the Extra Preliminary Round (6 August)

Littlehampton Town's quest to return to Wembley Stadium begins this Saturday afternoon at 3pm at the Sportsfield. The Golds take on Broadbridge Heath in the Extra Preliminary Round of the Emirates FA Cup.

After a record-breaking year, the Marigolds are looking to kick-on as the new footballing season gets underway. There is a new kit, new players and a new league for the Sussex team to enjoy in 2022/23.

With Mitchell Hand and George Gaskin once again running operations from the touchline, the club are looking forward to the first major competitive game of the new year.

Last night the players enjoyed a decent run-out against a young Brighton & Hove Albion side, drawing 2-2 over 90 minutes in the Sussex FA Community Shield. Despite losing 3-4 in the penalty shootout, the Golds acquitted themselves well against professional opposition.

Looking ahead to Saturday, we once again face Broadbridge Heath, who we met at this stage of the competition last year and triumphed 6-2 away from home.

A bumper crowd is expected, so please ensure you arrive early at the ground. Street parking is free in the vicinity of the Sportsfield (postcode BN17 6BD).

The Sportsman bar will be open, as will the kiosk for hot food. And our new-look programme will be on sale too. One change to the printed version is Stuart McKenzie has replaced Kirsty Braswell-Ralston as the Assistant Referee.

Note that if the scores are level after 90 minutes we'll face a replay away at Broadbridge Heath next week.
