‘Mental strength is brilliant’ – Steyning Town need one point for SCFL title
One more point will clinch the Southern Combination Premier Division title – and promotion back to the Isthmian League – for Steyning Town.
Last Saturday’s 2-0 win at home to Eastbourne United leaves the Barrowmen within touching distance of the prize – but Haywards Heath, three points behind, will be ready to pounce if Michael Hamm’s side lose at Seaford Town.
Hamm reflected on their latest win: “It was a special day for the club with it being our last home game of the season – our 53rd game of the season in front a good-sized crowd and lots of money raised for charity.
“We kept our fifth clean sheet in six and having faced a play-off contender the week before and then Peacehaven, who were confirmed in the play-offs last week, that’s huge credit to the team.
“We didn’t really get going until the second goal went in. Scoring at crucial times like we did can make all the difference.
“The mental strength the team show, and their ability to manage moments in games, is brilliant. We look forward to going to Seaford Saturday for our last league game after preparing in the best possible way.”
