Littlehampton Town return to the Sportsfield this week with back-to-back home fixtures in the Pitching In Isthmian Football League South East Division. First, we welcome Merstham on Saturday, followed by a Tuesday night clash with Sittingbourne, as the Golds look to put recent results behind them.

Last time out at the Sportsfield, the Golds delivered a thrilling comeback performance, reversing a 2-0 deficit to defeat Three Bridges 4-3 in an unforgettable encounter. Goals from Rob O'Toole, Joe Benn and a Jordan Layton penalty sealed the three points in front of a delighted home crowd.

However, our results on the road have been unlucky. A midweek trip to Kent saw us face Ashford United, where an early brace from Marcel Powell gave us a 2-0 lead. Despite our strong start, Ashford fought back, and we fell to a narrow 3-2 defeat. Just four days later, we made another long journey to take on Deal Town. After a goalless first half, the home side edged ahead, and while we battled to equalize, a 96th-minute strike from Deal sealed a 3-1 loss.

Now, the focus shifts back to the Sportsfield and two crucial games against tough opposition. Merstham will provide a stern test on Saturday, with kick-off at 3pm. Following that, Sittingbourne visit on Tuesday evening, a 7:45pm start under the lights, promising another exciting night of action.

Tickets for both games are priced at £10 for Adults, £5 for Concessions, and just £2 for Under 16s. Payments can be made by card or cash at the turnstiles. Free parking is available around the ground—use postcode BN17 6BD for your sat nav.
