Table-topping Common win derby with Bexhill
Second half goals from Russell Eldridge and Lewis Hole settled a keenly-contested Macron Store Southern Combination League Division One first versus sixth encounter.
There wasn’t a great deal between the sides on the whole, but Common - as top-of-the-table teams often do - came up with the moments that mattered and found a way to get the win in a game which won’t go down as a classic, not helped by a heavy pitch.

Hide AdCommon fielded the same starting line-up as that which hammered St Francis Rangers 6-0 on Saturday, while Bexhill - who were missing the likes of Kyle Holden, Lewis McGuigan, Chris Rea and Connor Robertson - gave a debut to Hollington United regular Luke Woodley at left-back.
