Steyning Town showed spirit despite losing to a very strong Burgess Hill Town in a game that was a good benchmark for Steyning ahead of the new season.

Steyning had their best spell of the game after the interval and were well on top before being hit on the counter in the 65th minute and going 2-0 down. Burgess Hill went on to win 4-0.

The scoreline was somewhat harsh on Steyning.
