HOLDERS East Preston Football Club progressed into the semi-finals of the Sussex RUR Cup on Tuesday evening with a 2-1 extra-time win at Pagham.

The game was switched to Pagham’s ground in the afternoon, owing to a burst water pipe at The Lashmar, which had flooded the changing rooms.

At one time, the game had been postponed but was back on shortly afterwards and switched to Pagham.
