Leiston 2, Burgess Hill Town 0: Fruitless away day for the Hillians

Hillians created the first chance with a volley from Lee Harding after 10 mins. The rest of the 1st half Hillians defended well. Josh James was called upon to make two saves from long range.

The second half Hillians started brightly and a Lee Harding shot was well saved by Fire kept the home side in the game.
