LITTLEHAMPTON TOWN v CRAWLEY TOWN - THURSDAY 21/07/2005

REPORT | VIDEOS

When it is a warm summers evening in Sussex, there is no better way to spend it than enjoying the non-league football that our fine county has to offer. With that in mind, we decided to make the first ever Crocs on Tour non-league game a pre-season friendly, as County League side Littlehampton Town took on illustrious opponents in the form of Conference team Crawleyr

We passed this on the A23, and couldn't help but question the legality of driving that on a dual carriageway A box of sweets in the car was particularly tough to open, and when it was opened, it exploded, leaving this icing sugar all over the steering wheel

And McCarthy is delighted to see it is also home to Littlehampton, Clapham and Patching cricket club This man told us stories of his trip to Hailsham, where they had no hotdogs, of the time Littlehampton wore their away kit when their was no clash, and of a woman who saw with incredibly large breasts. What a character!
