East Preston's challenge for the County League title has been hit by a string of suspensions.

Chris Hibberd has been effectively ruled out for the season after being handed a 49-day ban following his red card for foul and abusive language at the end of the game with Eastbourne United in January.

Simon Clayton begins a seven-day suspension on Monday while Russell Tomlinson, Dave Hall, Dave Walker and Gavin Hammond are all facing one-week bans during April. Manager Vic Short has also been hit with injury problems. Jimmy Smith, Mike Huckett and Hall all miss tomorrow's game with Sidley due to ankle problems.

Danny Hinshelwood has returned as manager of Selsey.

The struggling division one side unveiled Hinshelwood last night. He replaces Richie Reynolds who resigned on Tuesday.

Central defender Nick Newman returns for Hassocks as they face Three Bridges but utility-man Luke Flomo has returned to university.

Arundel are without Stuart Hack (wedding) for their game with Hailsham.

Sidley are hit by injuries and unavailability for the visit of high-flyers East Preston tomorrow.

Defenders Owen Ball and Neil Maplesden are struggling with knocks. Strikers Kevin Rose and Karl Tarrant are unavailable but midfielder Adam Day plays his last game before suspension.
