Lewes Under 18's have a busy few weeks ahead, squeezing their remaining nine Ryman Youth League fixtures into the next six weeks.

The team currently lie in second place in the Ryman Youth League South East Division on 19 points, with three games in hand on leaders Croydon Athletic, who have 24 points.

Because of the pressure to reschedule previously postponed fixtures, the team are occasionally having to play twice in a week, beginning with an away fixture at Maidstone next Thursday 5th March, although both Matt Whitehead and David Wheeler will be missing as they are in the England Schools squad facing Wales that evening at Boston FC, in the first Carnegie Centenary Shield fixture.

The next home game is on Monday 9th March against Horsham, and there are five more at the Dripping Pan before the end of the season.

The team also face Eastbourne Borough in the Sussex County Youth Cup Final at Lancing on Thursday 2nd April.

The remaining league fixtures are as follows:

Thursday 5th March (away) to Maidstone

Monday 9th March (home) to Horsham

Wednesday 11th March (home) to Whyteleafe

Monday 16th March (home) to Burgess Hill 

Monday 23rd March (home) to Tonbridge Angels
