Dave Winterton has sent out a chilling message to Eastbourne Town's promotion rivals in County League division two.

Town maintained their unbeaten start to the season with a 5-1 drubbing of Seaford on Saturday but boss Winterton believes his side are still not playing to their full potential.

He said: "Whatever standard of football you play, if you go 14 games unbeaten you have to be absolutely delighted. I still don't think we have hit top form yet. If we do hit top form, we will be even better."

Eastbourne were knocked out of the promotion places on the final day of last season.

Winterton is determined to put it right this time and they could not have asked for a better start.

Leading 1-0 at half time, they had too much for local rivals Seaford in the second half. Yemi Odubade (two) and Gary Brockwell both took their goals tally to 15 for the season while Stefan Fuller and debutant Alan Day were also on target.
