In soaring temperatures, the Peacehaven made an early exit from the Reserve Section Cup at Littlehampton on Saturday.

Tom Tyler was back from injury after being out for a month, whilst Sam Jeffery made his first start of the season, along-side Charlie Miles who recently returned from Ringmer.

In the opening stages, Peacehaven where enjoying some early possession, but fell behind after 21 minutes when a clearance from a corner was chipped back into the box and Carl Stocker fired in at an angle to open the scoring.

The home keeper made a good save from Robertas Kupetis soon after, but Littlehampton increased their lead on the half hour mark. A long drop kick produced a misguided header from Chris Barton and Stanley Elder lobbed the ball over the onrushing Simon Parsons.

The deficit was reduced 5 minutes later when an inswinging corner found Matt Nuttman, and his header squeezed in off the inside of the post.

An impressive long-range effort from Kupetis soon after the break produced

Steffen Robinson-Webster went close in the later stages but as Peacehaven pushed forward looking to find a way back into the game, so Littlehampton where able to exploit the gaps, and Simon Parsons was kept busy, producing some fine saves.

Littlehampton go on to face Pagham (away) in the 3rd Round, whilst Peacehaven's attention now turns to the visit of last seasons Sussex Junior Cup Winners, Yapton, in the Intermediate Cup next Saturday.
