and live on Freeview channel 276
Both clubs throw themselves into second-round ties in the FA Vase dreaming of the sort of run that took fellow Sussex side Littlehampton to HQ last May. Winners at this stage earn £900 and a spot in the last 64.
Bexhill have a big home tie – they welcome Eastbourne Town to The Polegrove, having reached round two courtesy of a come-from-behind 2-1 win in Hampshire in the first round.

Bexhill boss Ryan Light said: “After the heroics in Hampshire in the previous round against a much-fancied Horndean side, we are now looking forward to a home tie on Saturday against a team we know all about.
“Eastbourne Town will be the visitors and they come into the game in good form having picked up a few good results of late.
"Both teams like to attack so I’m sure it’s going to be a really entertaining afternoon at The Polegrove.
