Bexhill United Football Club is riding high at the top of the table in its highest position for nearly a quarter of a century.

The Pirates have reached the Southern Combination League Division One summit - the highest position the club has been in since being relegated from the old Sussex County League Division One at the end of the 1993/94 season when playing under the name of Bexhill Town.

Bexhill manager Ryan Light said: “We’re really happy that we’ve climbed to the top of the table, but at the moment it doesn’t really mean a lot.

“We’ve probably arrived there a little bit sooner than I would’ve liked, but now we are there, we’ll try to stay there.
