Saxons tackle top two clash
Brighton returned to the top of the table last weekend having leapfrogged Saxons, whose game at Crowborough was postponed due to snow.
The cancelled fixture means Saxons will now be a game behind Brighton for a few weeks yet, with the game yet to be rearranged.

“Playing Saturday and Sunday wouldn’t be ideal,” said Saxons skipper Paddy Cornish. “But I’m not worrying about that yet.
“This Brighton game is the focus. It’s still the same story, as in a point is still a good result for us, and keeps our title aspirations in our own hands.”
Saxons were beaten 4-2 in November’s reverse fixture by a Brighton side which is now two points ahead of them having played an extra game. But the Hastings club has a 100 per cent home record this season.
Cornish is hoping to have Tudor Stainsby back in action following an illness which has kept him out for the last few weeks.
