Leading Sussex League players will join the jet set when their games finish tomorrow.

The Sussex Board XI are away to the Channel Islands in the 38 County Cup on Sunday.

That means a rush to Gatwick for skipper Paul Stevens and his men to catch their evening flight to Jersey.

League matches have been brought forward to 11am to help players get away in time.

Stevens, who also skippers Eastbourne, said: "With the squad we have got going over there, we expect to win.

"I am looking forward to it. It's good to play for the Board XI anyway and we are grateful to the county for taking us over there."

Leaders Hastings are close to full strength for the trip to third placed Three Bridges, the outstanding match of the day's league programme.

Bridges, who have three men in the Board line-up, complete a busy weekend when they visit the winners of today's tie between Winchmore Hill or Saffron Walden in the National Knockout on Sunday.
