Terry Parris has called on Sussex clubs to get together in a bid to stamp out the trouble which has marred two of this week's derby clashes.

The Lewes chairman wants to meet with the likes of Horsham and Worthing to put an end to the ugly scenes witnessed at the Dripping Pan this week.

At the end of Monday's game with Horsham, visiting supporters confronted Lewes players as they left the pitch. A group of Horsham fans shouted obscenities at home players and officials while a plastic bottle was thrown.

Two days later Lewes boss Jimmy Quinn was at the centre of a storm in the match with Worthing. Quinn was sent from the dugout twice during the game and was involved in a scuffle with Worthing's Ben Carrington after the match.

The trouble spilled into the dressing room area where players from both sides swapped insults.

What went on will be highlighted in the match referee's report and Quinn could face a touchline ban if found guilty.

Parris has vowed to lead an investigation into the trouble and insists he will take action against any Lewes official who has acted inappropriately.

However, he believes Worthing must take their share of responsibility as well.

Parris said: "There were a lot of incidents at the game which we need to look at, incidents from both sides.

"We will certainly be writing to the league about a Worthing player inciting trouble. That was the catalyst to start off what happened after the game.

"We have received comments from different people regarding our own people and we are looking at these in their own right. There is a level of behaviour which is acceptable and we had one or two things that night that were unacceptable.

"The incidents after the game were very much involved with Worthing players as well. We want to make that clear.

"I cannot accept Worthing's Keith Rowley saying 'My players weren't the instigators of what went on'. That is not right and we need to address that."

He added: "With any individual at the club, we would take action if that was appropriate.

"Jimmy may have a perfectly good reason for his actions but everything that is reported to us needs to be looked at.

"We had our main sponsor there who doesn't watch many games. He watched the game and saw what went on. We don't want to be losing sponsors because of unsavoury incidents."

Parris does not know why trouble has flared up between local teams, particularly Lewes and Horsham, in recent seasons and he is particularly keen there will be no repeat when the Rooks visit Bognor tomorrow.

He said: "From all the games we have had this year, the only teams we have had problems with is our local rivals and I can't come to terms with that.

"When I played there was respect and admiration for your local opponents. Saturday should be a showpiece of football in the county for two teams that have done well.

"We want people shaking hands at the end whatever the result."

The Lewes chairman says he will be writing to both Horsham and Worthing about the trouble but says a meeting between the clubs could be the way forward.

He said: "We got together with Horsham last year and talked about the way forward and how to address the element of bad supporters.

"We have met and talked about it. It looks like this element is not the hardcore of Horsham supporters.

"We probably do need to get together again, maybe talk through what happens next year and what we can do in the best interests of football."

Horsham have had words with a supporter involved as the players left the pitch.

Club secretary and director Jeff Barrett said: "It was one of those things that happen but I don't think there was a huge grudge being harboured.

"One of the people involved was from this club and we will be talking to him and the other two we have never seen before."
