EAGLES APPOINT KILBY

EASTBOURNE have announced the appointment of Lee Kilby as a co-promoter alongside Trevor Geer.

Kilby joined the Eagles in the winter to take on a commercial role when Premiership club Swindon elected to sit out the 2021 season, and his main focus at Arlington will be on business and administration.

He said: “It’s a great club and I look forward to continue the great work that has been put in place.

“I have been with (director) Ian Jordan in the Eastbourne area for the past week, and it has been a really progressive week for us.

“We have really pushed on. It is all about spreading the word, engaging with as many people as possible. We have lots and lots going on.”
