 History 1962-63
Lancing went out of the FA Cup by 4-0 at Haywards Heath (they were to play in five cup competitions during the season and fall at the first hurdle each time).
After Lancing had returned to action with a defeat at Haywards Heath and a home draw with Rye, a meeting on Thursday March 7th resulted in the abandonment of the league programme and the introduction of an emergency competition, to be played in groups of four leading to a knock-out contest.
Lancing's emergency group looked a walkover for Whitehawk, second in the table, with Lancing the best placed of their three rivals, the others being Wigmore and Shoreham, the later seemingly headed for Division 2 before the season was halted.
