“Like the last few years, the final will be held on a midweek evening, which is normal for the competition with games in previous rounds taking place then. An evening match at the Amex is always a special atmosphere, couple that with the fact it is a cup final between two well-established and well-supported non-league Sussex sides, it should be a fantastic night and we are very much looking forward to it."
