Burgess Hill Town are banishing memories of 6-0 loss – Hassocks leave Lingfield with spoils

Burgess Hill Town have already gone some way to putting the memory of their 6-0 home hammering by Enfield behind them.

Gary Mansell’s side drew 1-1 at Chatham on Saturday, days after an identical result at Wingate & Finchley.

That’s stabilised their Isthmian Premier campaign ahead of this weekend’s break from league action for their FA Trophy second round tie at National League South side Dover.

They return to Isthmian duties at home to Brentwood next Tuesday.

Mansell said after the draw at Chatham: “I thought we fought brilliantly and deserved more than a draw.

“After last Saturday (v Enfield), we challenged the players that had to be the lowest point we hit. After that, with a bit of luck it should have been a six-point week.

“I’m proud of the boys and their reaction. I do think if we keep working as hard as that, our results will turn.”

Meanwhile Hassocks are third in the SCFL Premier after a 1-0 win at Lingfield.
