Bad start – good finish: Horsham YM come from behind to beat Seaford Town
Horsham YM posted their fourth straight win last Saturday, completing the double over visiting Seaford Town in a comfortable 4-1 victory after beating the seasiders 4-0 at the coast in September.
It started badly for YM when they found themselves a goal down with only six minutes on the clock, but that was as good as it got for Seaford.
Initially, Sam Hards was off target and Callum Connor was unable to convert, but then came that opening goal, with a centre slotted home.
With Seaford pressing a corner was conceded, but without further damage.
YM regrouped, with a long range shot averted by Seaford keeper Jordan Brown, and in the 16th minute, Kaiden Hummerston equalised from way out, and threatened again.
Approaching the half hour, a slick build up found Shay Matthews to put YM ahead. Adam Adam then hit the post, but YM were not to be denied, when, with half-time beckoning, Noel Fisher’s corner was latched on to by Archie Cassidy, who scored his first YM goal
Resuming 3-1 up, YM attacked immediately and although Brown pulled off an excellent save to thwart Adam, Jesse Sentamu was on hand to net YM’s fourth, allowing YM to make a series of changes, rotating players ahead of a trio of games coming up in quick succession.
YM created late opportunities, but efforts were not rewarded by additional goals.
After their Sussex Senior Cup quarter-final against National League South side Eastbourne Borough at home on Tuesday (Feb 3), YM travel to Little Common on Saturday before returning to the Herbert Direct Stadium to welcome Midhurst & Easebourne on Tuesday.
