Following the admission of Brighton University into the British League, Sussex now have a record five teams in the national competition.

Three from Horsham and Hastings make up the quintet.

The dynamic Rory Scott is the driving force behind the university team which has nominated several players who are not students including their No.1 Jack Boult (Goring-by-Sea), whose claim to fame is that he has beaten prominent England veteran Clive Carthy.

At number two Scott has nominated a Turkish student, Koray Ozcan, who has experience in the Turkish League in Ankara.

Scott himself is in the number four position. Also included are two top-class Eastbourne League players in Martin Kellaway and Lewis Mayhew.

The local derby in Division Three South and West against Hastings is scheduled for December 14 at Chichester.
