Sussex County League Reserve Section Cup

HASSOCKS TRIUMPH IN LOCAL DERBY
St Francis Rangers 0-3 Hassocks

An under strength Hassocks team played their local rival's in a great cup game! Hassocks again without 6 players due to injury etc, expected and received a tough game from Saints who play one league below hassocks 

A blatant push gave Hassocks a great start resulting in former Saints man Lee Cooke notching from the spot with great aplomb. 

Saints got into the game but didn't really trouble Hassocks defence with Simpson Wood Ternouth having solid displays, the oldest of the back 3, 21, they showed great resolve! 

Dawson in midfield was his industrial self and and bursting run from midfield allowed him to volley a beauty in from a full 30 yards ( what a great knock from someone) 

After Half time Saints tried to rough up Hassocks with some physical tactics but the Robins were unfazed!, 

In a piece of tactical brilliance, Spies was introduced and soon finished the game off with a typical Spies goal with great work from Cooke and Fernley! 

With the " Banana skin" avoided Hassocks now travel to Newhaven in the next round of the cup!
