The FA Cup begins tomorrow for the Greens with a trip to East Sussex and visit to Little Common FC.

Little Common were formed in 1966 as Albion United, based in Bexhill-on-sea, originally as two youth teams and gradually grew, adding a men's section and winning the East Sussex League in 1977/8 gaining them promotion into the Sussex County League.

In 1986 the club changed their name to Little Common Albion and rejoined the East Sussex League after finishing bottom of their division in 1995 and a further relegation saw them return to junior football for a few years.

In 1999 the club returned to the East Sussex League and gained promotion to the Sussex County League (which became the Southern Combination League) in 2005.

The club currently sit 9th in the Premier Division of the Southern Combination League (the same division as Lancing who we met last season) having taken 7 points from their opening 5 league matches.

Victories in the FA Cup over Corinthian FC and then Three Bridges have brought them to the 1st Qualifying Round although they fell at the first hurdle of the FA Vase last Saturday losing 2-1 to K Sports. They got back on track in midweek however with an impressive 5-0 win over Hailsham Town in the Peter Bentley Challenge Cup.

Little Common play their home matches currently at Eastbourne United's ground.

If a replay is required then it will take place at SJP on Tuesday night with a 7:45pm kick-off, we hope to see a strong travelling contingent of the Green Army making the journey south to cheer the boys on.
