Hamm delighted by patient Steyning Town as SCFL title race gets tighter
Steyning Town boss Michael Hamm toasted his team’s patience after a win over Forest Row that put them back on top in a thrilling SCFL premier division title race.
It took a double by sub Alex Brewer in the final 22 minutes to clinch a 2-0 win at the Shooting Field, which put the Barrowmen three points clear of Haywards Heath, having played a game more.
Hamm said: “I was extremely pleased with our application. Forest Row came hoping to leave with anything and set up in a manner that previously would have frustrated us and led to us being inpatient.
"As a side we’ve grown so much throughout the season and gone from a completely new side to a team full of spirit and understanding of each other.
"We just continue to play our game and have the belief that if we stay true to that the result will come and that proved true Saturday.
"Obviously we can’t ignore the fact that the league is a lot tighter than it was three months ago – but for us nothing has changed.
"We continue to just be the best we can be at each training session and on each matchday and hope to provide the fans with some entertaining football.
"We don’t look any further ahead than the next fixture and we still have the chasing mentality. Any team that wins 15 out of 15 league games like Haywards Heath will keep the favourites badge so we will just keep the chasing mentality.”
Steyning have no game this week but hist Crawley Down on March 14. Haywards Heath host Shoreham this weekend.
