Today it was back to what feels like a never ending quest to visit every ground hosting first team football in the Sussex football pyramid. Catsfield is just southwest of Battle and they play on the local recreation ground. It’s shared with the local cricket club, with the pavilion housing the changing rooms. The cricket pitch is in front, with the football pitch to the right, running lengthways away from the building/car park and a few park benches dotted around, but they’re placed more to suit the cricket.

The match was 5th versus 4th in this eight team division. Ticehurst took a twelfth minute lead, lobbing the ‘keeper from just inside the centre circle. They doubled their lead eight minutes before halftime, finishing left footed from the edge of the box. Catsfield had chances to get back into it, but couldn’t make their chances count and Ticehurst rounded off the scoring when they made it 0-3 with fourteen minutes left, when a corner from the right was hit towards the far side of the box and returned with a low shot into the bottom corner. The win sees them move up to third in the table, trailing leaders Parkfield by eight points, with both teams having played eight matches.

It was a trouble free hour and a quarter drive each way, via M25, A21 and A2100.
