68 Eastbourne Borough v Charlton Athletic photos

Alfie Bridgman scored a superb goal for Eastbourne Borough as they held a Charlton Athletic side in their latest pre-season friendly.

There was another 1,000-plus crowd at Priory Lane to see Mark Beard’s newly asembled team take on the League One outfit, who nabbed a draw thanks to Henry Rylah’s second half equaliser.

It’s the latest in a series of promising pre-season displays by Borough, who have gone full-time under Beard and new owner Simon Leslie in a bid to secure promotion to the National League.
