AFC Uckfield Town face a crucial match against Eastbourne United tonight (Tuesday 10th) in the SCFA RUR Cup, making the second of an unlikely set of three cup visits to The Oval this season. Having been set to face SCFL Premier Division leaders Eastbourne Town last weekend before suffering a waterlogged pitch, this is the Uckers’ second cup trip to the East Sussex coast in the space of a week – following a 2-0 defeat at Eastbourne Borough in the Sussex Senior Cup. The RUR Cup is one of two competitions in which they currently remain for 2019-20. Providing an inspection is passed, though, a superb fixture should be in order, as two previous meetings have seen United win a league battle 2-1 and the Uckers a Senior Cup tie 3-0. Meanwhile for the Uckers, this tie continues a run built on the road after defeating Horsham YMCA 3-1 and Broadbridge Heath 4-3 to reach the last eight.
