Suter quits Sussex

The county has this season switched from the South West Counties Championship to a midweek Home Counties competition which bans players above County League standard.

Suter felt he was unable to select a squad with the limitation. He said: "I know about Ryman players and chose a few from Hastings, Worthing and my own club. Also, I had a good network of County League managers like Dave John, Danny Hinshelwood and Harry Smith who recommended players from their league.

"But to have the whole squad based on the County League is a bit different. I didn't think I was qualified to pick all the squad from a league I don't know that well.

Suter had managed Sussex for seven years.
