Two games left – four points needed – but Steyning Town take it one at a time
Steyning Town need four points from their final two games to wrap up the SCFL title and promotion back to the Isthmian League.
They’re three points clear of rivals Haywards Heath – after recovering from their Easter defeat at Heath with a 3-0 home win over Eastbourne United.
Barrowmen boss Michael Hamm said: “I was absolutely delighted in the team performance Saturday. We’d had three games in seven days prior to this fixture and that took its toll on the players.
“We gave a leggy performance against Haywards Heath but that was to be expected with the amount of running these boys put in.
“It was important to approach this game like we have every other, one at a time.
“Eastbourne needed a win to keep their play-off chances alive so we knew it was going to need a big performance. We controlled the tempo well and that reflected in the scoreline – it was our most professional performance of the season in my opinion.”
Finn Daniels-Yeomans, Ollie Rawlins and Dion Jarvis were the goalscorers.
Now to another big day – one on which if their own result and Haywards Heath’s both go their way, Steyning will be champions.
But all Hamm would say is this: “We look forward to welcoming Peacehaven Saturday. It’s a cliché but all we ever prepare for is the next game.”
