'Sports' Visit 'The Dons' This Saturday

Eastbourne Borough make the 70 mile trip to AFC Wimbledon and the Kingsmeadow Stadium in Kingston upon Thames on Saturday (March 13) kick off 15.00.

The Dons striving to emulate the "old" Wimbledon and reach the Football League are currently seventh in the Blue Square Premier League and based on a table with Chester City results expunged have 54 points from 32 played and are just four points adrift of the play-off places.

At home they have picked up 25 points with seven wins, four draws and four defeats.

Back in August Borough beat the Dons 1-0 at Priory Lane thanks a 25 yard top corner screamer from ex Wimbledon defender Neil Jenkins watched by 3,108 - the Sports biggest home gate so far this season.

Striker pair Danny Kedwell and Jon Main have netted 34 goals between them, with 20 and 14 respectively.

AFC Wimbledon was born in 2002 after the original Dons upped and left London to become MKDons based in Milton Keynes. They started life in the Combined Counties League which they won in 2004. In 2008 they climbed out of the Ryman Premier and twelve months later they were Blue Square South champions.

At Kingsmeadow they are averaging 3,648 this season, but suffered a reverse in their play-off chase this week with a 2-1 away defeat at Sussex rivals Crawley Town.

Crucial Games As Boro Bid For BSP Survival

'Jenko' .v. AFC Wimbledon Earlier This Season

AFC Wimbledon mark Borough"s ninth consecutive BSP fixture against clubs in the top half of the BSP table: a sequence taking in Wrexham, Rushden and Diamonds, Luton Town, Altrincham (twice), York City, Stevenage and Kidderminster Harriers.

After the Dons date Garry Wilson"s side face five games in a row against clubs also caught up in the scrap to avoid the remaining three relegation places following the Chester expulsion:

Saturday March 20 Grays Athletic Home
Saturday March 27 Barrow Away
Tuesday March 30 Gateshead Home
Saturday April 3 Forest Green Rovers Home
Monday April 5 Ebbsfleet United Away

It is hoped that the Eastbourne public and Priory Lane 'faithful' will travel to support the club away from home but crucially provide large and vocal backing for 'The Sports' at Priory Lane in the coming weeks.

Sussex Senior Cup Monday Next

Eastbourne Borough look to continue their defence of the Sussex Senior Cup this Monday evening (kick-off 7.45) at Whitehawk.

Eastbourne Borough travel to East Brighton Park just 48 hours after a trip to South London to face AFC Wimbledon and have a key game at Priory Lane .v. Grays Athletic the following Saturday. As such the club aim to fully utilise the depth and breadth of the squad available for the cup tie in order to be competitive on the night yet acknowledge the rest required by the first team after, and relevant recovery time prior to, important games in the remainder of the 'The Sports' BSP season.

'The Sports' Paint The Town Red

Eastbourne Borough F.C. are very much a club at the heart of the community and today they made a big impact in Eastbourne town centre with the unveiling of a 6 metres x 3 metres advertising site promoting the Blue Square Premier League club.

The site, in a prime location, on the corner of Ashford Road and Cavendish Place was donated by insurance brokers John F. Whippy and Co who have foregone the £2,000 annual rental for the space to help promote Borough.

Vinyl Designs produced and erected the high quality board free of charge by working on it in their own time at weekends and in the evening. They will also be updating the fixtures panel which at the moment is advertising the next home BSP game at Priory Lane against Grays Athletic on Saturday March 20. kick off 15.00.

A new calculated table is being circulated via the Press Association this afternoon as the official record to be used by all the media and member clubs from this date.

Due to the fact that ALL goals involved in those matches played to date are also expunged, it means that those players having scored goals in matches against Chester City in the Blue Square Premier also see them expunged from the record books. This is to maintain fairness and consistency in relation to the player winning the "Golden Boot" award at the end of the season in the Blue Square Premier. Goals scored in FA Cup or FA Trophy ties are not so affected and will remain in those competitions."

Paul Armstrong (.v. AFC Wimbledon 2009/2010) - Pic : Terry Buckman

Details of the valuable away victory, and Paul Armstrong's excellent display supporting the defence, at York City are now available online. Whilst the 1st XI were doing the club pround many miles to the north the EBFC 'A' side entertained a County Division 3 team, Ifield Edwards, in the Senior Charity Cup. 'The Sports' took an early lead in the opening minute through Michael Lloyd but the visitors' physical presence prevented the hosts from pushing home this advantage and Boro were reduced to 10 men mid-way through the opening 45. Ifield Edwards drew level against the run of play and with extra time beckoniong the excellent Richard Piper smashed home from inside the 18 yard box for a 2-1 win, the win over a County side evidence of the squads quality.

The U18's and Boro Ladies were washed out on Sunday.

'Boro' Next For Boro

All Borough"s three away wins this season have come against ex Football League clubs - Kidderminster Harriers, Cambridge United and York City - and after the Yorkshire trip The Sports face another big test on TUESDAY NIGHT (MARCH 2) when 2nd placed STEVENAGE BOROUGH visit PRIORY LANE kick off 19.45.

On the road Stevenage have collected 28 points from eight wins, four draws and four defeats. Last season they finished 5th. but were eliminated by Cambridge United in the play offs and in the battle of the Boroughs Eastbourne did the double, winning 3-1 at Broadhall Way and 2-1 at Priory Lane.

Back in September the Sports lost 2-0 at Stevenage - two headers from defenders Ashton and Henry.

The Hertfordshire club won the F.A. Trophy in 2007 and 2009 and meet Kidderminster in the semi finals this season.

Ex Borough striker 25 year-old Yemi Odubade, signed from Oxford last summer, is joint top scorer with Charlie Griffin - 12 apiece - as Stevenage strive to reach the Football League for the first time.

Chester City & The League Table

The current League table, which still includes Chester City who have until Friday to appeal expulsion, sees Borough two points and two places above the drop zone. However the expunging of the Chester results would put Borough three places and three points ahead of the remaining three relegation spots in 18th. and only a point behind 15th. Salisbury City. When the table is officially revised Borough will lose one point, while Barrow and Gateshead totals wont change; Cambridge United will suffer suffer a six point loss and drop into the relegation frame.

Glorious Sunshine For Last Seasons Visit Of Altrincham - Allan Tait, Jean-Michel Sigere & Jay Lovett Line Up for The Sports

For the second time in the space of four days Eastbourne Borough will meet Altrincham but this time it is the Cheshire club who face the 530 mile round-trip for the Blue Square Premier League encounter at Priory Lane on Saturday (February 20) kick off 15.00.

And Altrincham part two is an early chance for Borough to avenge a 3-0 defeat at Moss Lane on Tuesday evening. It was a night to forget for The Sports. Danny Knowles, struck down by a virus was not fit enough to travel to the North West and was replaced by Brighton and Hove Albion teenage "keeper Mitchell Walker who was signed on emergency loan hours before kick off.

In a match that saw both sides reduced to 10 men, Borough defender Sacha Opinel, on loan from Farnborough Town, was red carded just before half-time.

Saturday is Alty"s second visit to Sussex in a week having made the 450 mile two way journey to Crawley Town where they suffered a 1-0 loss.

Altrincham are currently 11th. in the Blue Square Premier League with 44 points from 29 matches. On the road they have won seven, drawn three and lost four, picking up 24 points. In fact their away form is better than at Moss Lane where they have won five, drawn five and lost five and collected 20 points.

Despite three successive defeats in a week - Rushden and Diamonds, Luton Town and Altrincham - Borough are still 19th. in the League with 29 points from 32 games and a goal difference of minus 22. Barrow are 21st with 28 points, gd minus 16, but have four games in hand on Borough; 20th. position Gateshead have 28 points from 31 played and a goal difference of minus 14.

Borough Support Eastbourne Half Marathon

Eastbourne Borough will be supporting the Eastbourne Half Marathon by organising a penalty shoot out in the build-up to the 10.00. start at Princes Park, Eastbourne on Sunday March 7.

The competition, with Borough mascot Ollie the Owl in goal, will award successful spot kick takers with a free ticket for the Eastbourne Borough v Grays Athletic Blue Square Premier League fixture at Priory Lane on Saturday March 20. kick off 15.00.

The Eastbourne Half Marathon has become one of the big events in the Eastbourne sporting calendar and over 1,000 runners are expected to set out from Princes Park on the 13.5 mile course.

With the 2.018 attendance for Luton Town on Saturday the Eastbourne Borough BSP average this season climbed to 1,233 and 13th. position in the gates chart. This makes Borough the second best attended club in Sussex - Football League Div 1 Brighton and Hove Albion lead the way with an average of 6,227. Crawley Town are currently 21st in the BSP attendance table with an average of 916. Last season Borough averaged 1.344.

35 year-old defender Darren Baker, who made his Borough debut in 1992, chalked up his 850th. appearance for the club in the Blue Square Premier League game against Luton Town on Saturday. This remarkable record by one club man Baker is unlikely ever to be equalled at Priory Lane.

Darren Baker After Play-Off Victory

It is possible another landmark will be reached this Saturday with the visit of 'The Robins'. Marc Pullan, who joined Borough from coastal neighbours Worthing in January 2006, will make his 200th appearance for The Sports should he take to the field. There can be few who would argue with the word 'outstanding' when used to describe Marc's contribution to the clubs cause over recent years; his time marked with Player Of Year and Man Of the Match awards aplenty.
