A Message From The Manager

After the Mid Sussex Football League's decision to award the title based on Average Points Per Game ensured that Sidley United are declared winners of the Championship, manager John Carey had this to say:

"It's fantastic to have been confirmed as Champions and know that we are going up into the Premier Division next season."

"I want to take this opportunity to say a big thank you to my assistant Mark Funnell for all his help this year; he is a massive figure to have involved at the club."

"Thank you to all the committee members who help week in week out and do an unbelievable amount of work behind the scenes." 

"Thanks to my brother Lee who has supported me with the coaching and training which really has been of help. Thanks also to Spencer for helping put the nets up every week come wind, rain or shine."

"Thanks to Gino for his help with sponsorship allowing us to buy equipment."

"But most of all thanks go to the top group of lads I have to work with every week. Today's announcement is no less than you deserve, your hard work has paid off once again."

"It is massive for the club to win back to back league titles - something never achieved before. We can look forward now to some good local games next season against teams like Hollington United, Westfield, Eastbourne Rangers and hopefully we can make it 3 titles in a row - that certainly is the aim."

"I would also like to mention the fantastic support we have had throughout the season and in particular the young lads who travel with us every week; Kingsley, Jack, Tom, Freddy, Oscar and Archie who are all top boys. I am looking forward to everyone cheering on the team again next season."

"Congratulations again to all. We look forward to a good night out to celebrate as soon as we are able to. In the meantime I hope everyone stays safe."
