This
is the 3rd game in a row against East Grinstead
Utd which has finished 0-0 and to be fair a draw
was probably the right result as both defences
dominated
The
Hassocks side featured only 1 player above
the age of 20 and had 9 players from our
successful youth team with 3 making their debuts.
After conceding 7 last week, the defence was not
changed and this time they put in a good
performance to deny a much livelier EG team than
we previously saw at the Beacon in September.
In
the 1st Half EG hit the bar from a long range
speculative effort and our own Alex Ternouth had a
great opportunity to score with a free header but
somehow managed to head wide. The 2nd half saw EG
have more possession but they rarely threaten the
goal and on the few occasions they got close Jason
Gander and his defence coped admirably! In the
last 15 minutes Spies (aged 20+) was pushed
forward and he nearly broke the deadlock with a
right foot volley that just went over the bar. In
the final minute Pat Rose also had a chance to get
the winner but his shot just outside the area
cleared the bar.
This
was not a great game but with only 2 league
matches being played on Saturday this single point
returned Hassocks to the top of the
league on goal difference.
Next
game is now home on Saturday v Maresfield 2pm ko.
