Infinity are clear at top … Midhurst and Easebourne have new manager
Infinity continued their flying start to the SCFL Division 1 season with a 2-0 win at home to Hailsham that took them two points clear in top spot.
After a frenetic start, a corner to Infinity brought a one-two between Ashton Leigh and Tommy Tierney. Leigh passed to Evan Harris whose shot went in off the bar.
Infinity stepped up the pressure on Hailsham and Mo Hartnell made a great run up the wing and fired in a shot that came back off the post. It came back to Harris, who made it 2-0.
In the second half Hailsham’s defence remained under pressure and a careless tackle led to a player being sin-binned.
Infinity kept on creating chances but could not convert them.
Hailsham created a couple of chances of their own but couldn’t get back into it.
Also in Division 1, Selsey drew 1-1 at home to Westfield.
In the Premier, Pagham won 1-0 at home to Seaford thanks to a Jamie Horncastle goal, while Midhurst lost 6-0 at home to leaders Eastbourne United.
The Stags have appointed a new manager following the departure of Connor Hoare and a number of players.
Ash Clarke has taken over the reigns and said on the club’s X account after last Tuesday’s loss to Pagham: “I am delighted to have this opportunity at Midhurst & Easebourne FC. After a very tough three days, I was very pleased with how we did yesterday in a new rebuild for the first team.
"Can’t wait to continue building on this and work with all the amazing people at this club. Huge thank you to Tom, who’s been brilliant with me over the last few days, and a special mention to Donna. And finally, a massive thanks to a few people outside the club for the recommendations and support during this time. Up the Stags.”
