Dallas and Harvey Whyte after the Rocks' latest SSC win
Dallas and Harvey Whyte believe they have completed a first for the Rocks – a father and son both lifting the Sussex Senior Cup for the club.

Dallas was in the Bognor side of the 1980s that won the trophy a number of times – while his son Harvey was skipper of the 2018-19 side who beat Burgess Hill to claim it for the first time in 32 years a fortnight ago.

Dallas said: “I have one very clear memory of the first final I played in, against Peacehaven in 1982, which was the goal. The ball came across the six-yard box and as I tried to strike it, well, even now I can hear the sound of my studs rolling off the top of the ball – and it trickled into the corner.
