Sadough rediscovers goalscoring touch

SHAHEEN SADOUGH scored for Burgess Hill Town on Tuesday in his second match after his return from Woodside Road.

The first-season Ryman League striker went back to Leylands Park last week after losing his confidence, partly from crowd reaction to his failure to score, ultimately in any of his nine starts or two substitute appearances in Rebels red.

He was tried by Worthing's team management up front in a 4-4-2, and in a 5-4-1, then at wide-right midfield (though not at left-back . . . )but his inexperience will have been one factor in his lack of success.

However, back under Jamie Howell at Hillians, he was sent off on Saturday, then scored their goal in a 1-1 draw at Croydon Athletic on Tuesday that kept his club on the fringe of the scramble for the final promotion play-off place.

The most pessimistic Rebels fans will be hoping Hillians do not strike gold with Sadough back on board and sneak that prized spot ahead of Worthing, whose joint-boss Alan Pook said the restoration of the player's confidence was the purpose of his release.
