Bexhill United manager Ryan Light said the football club was '˜delighted' to reach the semi-finals of its divisional knockout competition.

The Pirates booked their place in the last four of the Macron Store Southern Combination League Division One Challenge Cup with a 4-2 quarter-final win at home to AFC Varndeanians last night (Tuesday).

Light said: “As a club we’re delighted. It’s that step further than last year and with the squad we’ve got, we’re really confident we can push on. If we could get to a cup final, what a great occasion that would be for the people of the football club who work so hard.”
