A football club aimed at helping overweight and obese men in the Bexhill area get fit has helped 40 players lose 350kg so far in 2022.

New players from some postcodes in the county may be able to benefit from a free 14-week season as part of a partnership with One You East Sussex.

Before matches players are weighed followed by a 30-minute game of six-a-side football. Extra goal bonuses are awarded to teams based on the amount of weight players have lost.
