Eastbourne Dynamos kicked off their League campaign with a 2-2 draw away to Beulah Baptists, with Jamie Drummond grabbing both Eastbourne goals.
A much improved performance for Dynamos but there is a good feeling in the camp that they can play better.
Just a reminder that there is no Dream Team update this week because it's International week, updates will return next Monday.

Eastbourne Dynamos would like to announce that they have agreed their third major sponsorship of the season with Gas Plus. The family run company have provided the club with a fabulous new green Umbro Away Kit, which Dynamos wore for the first time against Eastbourne Athletic.
Dynamos are pictured above in the new kit, while Dean Pugh and Neil Taylor are pictured with Carl Mayes who runs Gas Plus. Neil and Carl are the ones to thank for organising this sponsorship.
Eastbourne's first game in the new kit was in the 2-0 defeat to local team Eastbourne Athletic.

The squad for Saturday's final friendly is due to be decided tonight. With a total of 18 players available, Steve is only able to take 14 with him.
He has an eye on the first game of the season, and will be hoping to play the players he wants for that game.
There are bound to be some players disapointed with being left out Saturday, but they must remember that last season we struggled with a lack of players, so to have this many available is a bonus. Plus, we already know of a few players who are unvavailable during the first few months of the season, so there will be places up for grabs and chances for players to prove they deserve to be in Steve's starting 11.
Competition for places will only make us a better team and keep us all on our toes!
Dream Team has been updated with its second week's worth of points. Next week will see updates return to the regular Monday slot.

Eastbourne Dynamos started their pre season schedule with a hard worked 4-4 draw with Herstmonceux. The visitors to Old Town Rec had their pitch unavailable on Thursday night, and a scramble for a pitch ensured the game went ahead.

The Club has also seen more players join, and that includes the re-signing of Martin Bell and Darren Vine to bring the total squad number to 16. We hope to have a few more once the pre-season friendlies start.

Wheatsheaf had a fantastic season last year, winning Division 2. They had claimed the trophy undefeated, but then lost their remaining two league games.
This will provide another good test for Eastbourne before the new season starts.
Important Information for Players
A few players have already signed for the club, but we need those who have yet to do so. We need to have as many in as possible to send to the league before the deadline. Also, Steve would like to know who has actually signed on for the club before we start our pre-season friendlies as those players will take priority in games.
