Sidley miss out on semi spot
The Blues squandered a 2-0 lead as they went down 4-2 away to Sussex County League title hopefuls Crawley Down in the last eight on Tuesday night.
A Terry Payne cracker and one from Jason Taylor put Sidley in command, and they also hit the post twice before Crawley Down pulled one back amid a strong suspicion of a push on Danny Spice before half time.
