Games in the Peter Bentley Challenge Cup started with Newhaven playing at home to Bexhill United on the 4G pitch at the "Trafalgar" ground. The first goal was scored very early in the game when James Stone put the visiting "Pirates" into the lead. They kept this lead until the final minute of the game when a penalty was awarded to the "Dockers" which was converted by Alfie Rogers -- now into a penalty shoot-out. Newhaven won the penalty shoot-out 3-2 after a 1-1 full time score and moved into the quarter-final round where they will be away to Broadbridge Heath.
