Want to know what the Docker's players really think about one another? Then you've come to the right place!

Over the course of the season, I'll be asking players from both the men's and women's sides to tell us all about the people they share the dressing room with.

First up for Newhaven Ladies is Abi Turner.

Who is the coach’s pet?

Steph (Harrison).

Which teammate is most likely to pull out of a team night out at the last minute (or go home first)?

Duch (Elle Duchossoy).

Who would be in your ultimate Newhaven 5-a-side team (using current squad and coaches)?

Rip (Paige Ripley), Lucy (Collinson – also assistant manager), Markham (Charlotte Markham), Annie (Mills) and Andy (Cook – manager).

Who do you not want on the opposing team at training, and why?

Lauren (Smith – team captain). She kicks the ball too hard!

Markham.

Which teammate do you think is most likely to become a coach or manager when they finish playing?

Steph.

Which teammate tends to have the worst opinions regarding football

Goals galore as Dockers win again

Newhaven 6 Lingfield 3, SCLF Premier Division match #15, Saturday 8 th November 2025 Having bounced back to winning ways with a win at Lancing seven days ago, Newhaven hoped to keep the run going with a match against another team at the wrong end of the table yesterday. However, as is often the case when we seem to face strugglers, Lingfield had played themselves into a bit of form last weekend, winning 2-1 against play-off contenders Bexhill United. And it was the visitors who made the perfect start yesterday afternoon, taking the lead inside the opening minute. Needless to say, we only had ourselves to blame, as a loose pass was seized upon by Deven Reid-Solanki and the skillful winger made no mistake, driving forward before finding the bottom corner with a calm finish. Reid-Solanki was to cause us numerous problems throughout the afternoon, giving one of the best individual performances I’ve seen from an opposition player at Fort Road. Fortunately, though, he was just about...

Worthing’s class shows, but Dockers brilliant in defeat

Newhaven 0 Worthing 3, Sussex Senior Cup Round 3, Tuesday 18 th November 2025 Newhaven faced one of their biggest matches in many-a-year last night when they welcomed National League South side Worthing to Fort Road in the Sussex Senior Cup. For the past few seasons, Worthing have consistently been Sussex’s top-performing non-league side, with aspirations of eventually making the jump to full professional level. This was always going to be a monumental test for a very young Dockers side; even more so given the strong starting 11 the visitors fielded, and the electric run of form they are currently on. Let’s make no bones about it, Worthing are a good side. A very good side. Right from kick-off that much was clear to see. Their speed of movement and thought - both on and off the ball - made it seem like, whether defending or attacking, they always had an extra player on the park. There’s a reason the Rebels are currently, and have for the past few seasons been, challenging for ...

Dockers back to winning ways

Newhaven 4 AFC Varndeanians 1, Peter Bentley Cup Round 2, Tuesday 25 th August 2026 Newhaven returned to Fort Road last night, looking to bounce back from Saturday’s disappointing FA Cup defeat at Whitstable. However, doing so appeared to be a far from straight forward task. On paper, at least. With injuries already playing havoc with Newhaven’s season, the management have been forced to bring in reinforcements. Step forward Harvey Wheeler and Thomas Sekyere (from Burgess Hill) and Matt Feeney-Hill (from Forest Row). All three were thrust straight into the starting 11 last night, against an AFC Varndeanians team who have made a very solid start to the season. Given the many changes made to last night’s team, the Dockers could have been forgiven for looking slightly disjointed. Not a bit of it. If anything, the first 45 minutes of yesterday’s match was as good as anything Newhaven have produced yet this season (at least in the games that I’ve seen). The three new signing...
