Things remain as tight as ever at the top of Sussex One after two unbeaten sides drew 8-8 at Hastings and Bexhill.

Visitors Uckfield were 8-0 down at the break but fought back well and survived a late scare when Paul Sandeman's 40-yard penalty hit a post.

Andy Hitch scored the H&B try with Sandeman's penalty helping reward a good first half effort.

Levi Willis kicked an early penalty for Hellingly but that was as good as it got as they lost 29-3 at Crowborough.

Locks Lee Wilmore and Tim Gordon both scored tries with No. 8 Jon de Sampaio crossing twice. Ian Adams also scored and Keith Brooker slotted two conversions.

Horsham were given a walkover by UC Chichester while Seaford's game at Rye was abandoned after an injury to the visitors' Ben Cox, who was trapped below an opponent after a tackle.

The 45-minute delay while he was treated meant there was no chance of the match being completed. Cox was taken to hospital amid fears of spinal injuries but the damage turned out to be muscular.

Seaford led 10-0 at the time, helped by a powerful Jason Pheasant finish.

Lock Phil Nicholas contributed a try and two conversions as Sussex Police scored all their points in the first half in beating Midhurst 19-0.

Nick Mason-Walshaw and Rob Blackett also got over and good second half tackling ensured victory.

A penalty try, awarded when David Price was impeded, helped Royal and Sun Alliance edge past visitors Norfolk Arms 10-6.

Jon Withyman added the conversion and kicked a penalty.

St Francis were 19-3 winners at home to Newick and Burgess Hill beat Barns Green 48-7.

The top game in Sussex Three saw Shoreham edge past Old Brightonians 20-17 as Nigel Stevens kicked a second half penalty.

It was 17-17 at the break. Shaun O'Connor and Andrew Day scored Shoreham's tries with Stellious Panayiotou adding two conversions and a penalty.

OBs' tries came from Tom Doig, Seb Akillian and Saul Green, who also kicked a conversion.

Ditchling had a walkover against Plumpton and Arun defeated Robertsbridge 27-10.
