Eastbourne are preparing to tackle Intermediate Cup opponents who have already been to Twickenham this season.

In fact, Ipswich started the campaign there.

Not that the men who head to Park Avenue next Saturday for a fourth round tie have been to headquarters.

They lost 29-14 away to Twickenham on the opening day of the London Two North season.

Ipswich have lost six of their eight league games to date which suggests Eastbourne have a great chance of progressing to the fifth round, especially with home advantage.

There will certainly be Sussex survivors from the tie at Saint Hill, where East Grinstead tackle Horsham.

Gs should have too much firepower for the Sussex One side, who lost for the first time this season last Saturday.

Victory for Chichester would be a major shock. They travel to the Sutton and Epsom side who recently beat Haywards Heath in a London One clash at Whitemans Green.

Chi's main focus remains the Sussex One title, especially after beating Horsham last week.

Skipper Ben Polhill said: "We will go up there and enjoy it."

Newick continue to fly the county flag in the Junior Cup.

Following their impressive win at Bexley, they go to Sheppey in the fourth round next Saturday.

It could be another tough afternoon for Newick. Their hosts have won six out of six in Kent Two.
