Harbour resident and SHRA committee member Brian Dennis is the manager of Eastbourne United Football Club. There are also several other harbour residents on the playing and coaching staff of the club and they are always on the lookout for new players and support staff, at every level.

Brian wrote to Waterlines as follows:

"We where awarded team of the month for December as we where unbeaten. Since then we have only lost one game, so hopefully we can carry on and get another team of the month.

We have signed a former CSKA Sophia (Bulgaria) player, he played against Liverpool 2 years ago in the Champions league.

The club are looking for a commercial manager, so if there is anyone out there who is interested in the job then they can contact me on 07952-128159.

We are still looking for sponsors, whether it it be kit, perimeter boards, programme adverts, or naming rights to the ground. We are always looking for new talent and have proved that we are prepared to give youth a chance. For our last few games we had at least 5 under 18yrs players in our match day squads, and all got games. The average age of our team last season was just 20.

Throughout our league we are recognised as being one of the best football playing sides, but we don't get the support we deserve. So, if there are any players out there who fancy playing at Eastbourne United then they also can contact me.

Also, if there are any true football fans out there who appreciate good football then get down to the Oval in Channel View Road and watch us.

All this work takes time and money so if there is anyone out there who has plenty of one or both, then why not come along and get involved in you local football club you will be made very welcome or, if you are interested in just watching good exciting football, come and watch us.

If there is anyone who may wish to sponsor the team shirts tracksuits or training kit please contact me via Eastbourne United AFC on 01323-726989.

Hope you all have a good summer and hope to see you at the Eastbourne Oval."
