Burgess Hill Town boss: We got our identity back - and won

Saturday’s 3-1 victory followed a slight dip in results and put the Hillians up to seventh – just five points off the final play-off place.

It was one of the matches involving Sussex teams to beat last weekend's storms - as we rounded up here.

Lewis Finney and Hayden Skerry put Lovett’s men 2-0 up with a goal in each half and Lewis Taylor made sure of the three points with a late penalty after Sevenoaks got one back.

It puts Hillians second in the division’s last-10 form table, having taken 19 points in that period, bettered only by leaders Hastings’ 25.

Tributes to Sussex football legend Gary Charman as he retires.

Hill boss Jay Lovett said: “Saturday’s result came at the right time for us after a few results that could have been better..

Bognor plan new ground improvements.

“The Ramsgate game was a close contested game and probably worthy of a 1-1 draw, so it was a tad gutting to concede a 93rd minute goal.

“But on Saturday we got back to playing with our identity and moved the ball around well on a lovely surface, which really suited us.

“We scored some good goals – my only grumble would be that we probably should have scored a few more.

“But a win is a win and at an important time. It was good to have Michael Uwezu, Conrad Honore and Josh Spinks all back from injuries and we fielded our strongest side for a few weeks.”

Hill go to Hythe Town on Saturday and Lovett added: “We should have more players back like Max Miller, Reggie Ward and Dan Cadman.

“Hythe have picked up some good results of late and they will be another game, so will have to be back to our best to get a result.”
