Lewes welcome back Luke Hurle for Sunday's visit of National League division one leaders St Albans.

Hurle missed last week's win at struggling Chelmsford as he was away coaching in America.

Despite the 2-1 success, his presence was missed by a Lewes side which has climbed to fifth place in the table.

St Albans suffered their first defeat of the season in bizarre circumstances as they lost 4-3 at home to Barford Tigers, who had not previously won this season.

Lewes manager Peter Boyse said: "We have two tough games before Christmas and I am sure St Albans will be looking to bounce back against us. It should be a good game."

Meanwhile, Lewes goalkeeper Andy Speight has joined Canterbury after losing his place to Mark Wilkinson.

East Grinstead welcome back captain Jon Perriss for their trip to Indian Gymkhana.

Perriss missed last week's 3-3 draw with Ipswich but returns for this clash between two sides relegated from division one last season.

Sixteen-year-old Charlie Pine maintains his place in the squad after an impressive debut last Sunday and he is joined in the party by another youngster, Joe Evans. Kevin King is unavailable due to work commitments.

Luke Shirley and Tim Karps return for Brighton's trip to Ashford. Skipper Carlo Missirian said: "We are desperate to win our next two games so that we can go into the Christmas break just a point behind Holcombe."

Lee Martin and Matt Ansell are injury doubts for Worthing ahead of their game with Folkestone.

Horsham hope to welcome back Dominic Cohen after three weeks out through injury for their match at Mid Sussex.

Former Worthing man Cerdic Atkinson is added to the squad.

Mids are still without Mark Humphries who is suffering with a back injury.

Middleton and Bognor are on the verge of pulling out of Kent/Sussex Division One.

Relegated from the Regional League last season, M&B have struggled for players and feel they are unable to field a strong enough side in this league.

Their application to withdraw has been made but they are awaiting confirmation it has been accepted by the South League.
