Sidlesham travelled along the coast to Ferring on Saturday looking to gain maximum points on their travels against a very much improved and well organised Ferring side, who have already beaten high flying Jarvis Brook this season. They knew it was not going to be to easy despite the current league position of the home side and not wanting to be the next side beaten there.

The game kicked off and both teams went at it from the off with Davidson Borges and Dan Bassil both going close. Up the other end Matt Roberts and Tom Kelly had to be at the top of their game to keep the forwards of Ferring at bay and with Connor Kelly in fine form behind them this was to prove the foundations that the 2-0 win was built on.

First Kelly saved acrobatiacally after his brothers clearance cannonned off a Ferring player and flew towards the top corner and then in the second half after Bassil had put Sidlesham one up when turning and firing his shot wide of the disparing dive of the home keeper, he produced a even better save to get his foot to a hotly disputed penalty to keep Sidlesham one up.

Not long after this Sidlesham got their second as debut making youngster Joe Bennett produced a great cross from the left for the impressive Roberts to head home and secure the away win.

There was still time for the away side to add to their tally when Niah Mckenley-burke and Borges both went close in the remaining minutes but the game finished 2-0 to the away side.

Sidlesham now move onto Saturday's away game at Cowfold in the intermediate cup first round. Ko. 1.30pm
