ROBINS HELD AT ARUNDEL
Arundel 1-1 Hassocks

Hassocks should have gained full points from this fixture away at Arundel, but woeful finishing and a brilliant error from keeper Phil Wickwar, who decided to duck out the way of a cross which was the only thing on target all night and let it in at the near post, cost them dearly.

Hassocks' hosts were comfortable in possession but lacked real penetration with the centre backs of Martin Woods, Steve Hudson and Ian Simpson all outstanding.

Veterans Lee Cooke and Steve Spies combined well upfront and Cooke's great run and shot was tapped in by Spies.

Mark Darbyshire had a great chance to win the game but snatched at it and Spies also came close when great control and shot on the turn (yes he did that) hit the post with the keeper well beaten.

A great performance and a good result but Hassocks and their keeper must of thought it was two points dropped.
