The Amex U21s won 1-0 but James Westlake’s Robins gave a great account of themselves and will hope they may have won themselves some new fans among the hundreds who attended.
It was a second round Senior Cup tie and saw the young Seagulls take a step towward the final, which will be played at their home ground in May.
For Hassocks, focus returns to their maiden Isthmian League campaign, having impressed visitors with the way they accommodated their biggest ever crowd.
