HASSOCKS GO THROUGH WITH RELATIVE EASE
Newhaven 0-3 Hassocks

On a windy evening at Newhaven Hassocks progressed with ease with a 3 nil win. Hassocks started well with the exciting Demario went through on the left after good football and the keeper saved well, but he should of squared it for a goal. 

Hassocks were never in trouble all evening and keeper Wickwar didn't get dirty all night, with the Newhaven keeper having to make saves all night long! 

Hassocks took the lead when the returning leading scorer Cooke smashed in from close range after a scramble, before that he should of scored with a header from 5 yards but failed to open his eyes! 

Hassocks midfield were always in charge and Jacques should have scored but pulled his shot wide! 

Second half was much of the same with Hassocks defence in control with Wilson playing well in an unaccustomed role at center back due to staff shortages!! 

Soon Hassocks were 2 up when after missing  2 one on ones, JT finished his third chance! Then was soon replaced by the elusive Robinson. After a fine first start from Demario, he was replaced as well by debut boy Goodrum who looked comfortable at this level! 

The game was wrapped up as Cooke and Robinson made a real hash of an open goal twice, Beveridge was on hand to drill in a left foot shot into the roof of the net! 

Hassocks played well in an awkward fixture. Having used 36 players already, Jewell and Wickwar are happy with the position they are in and the strength of the squad but are still looking in 1 or 2 area's to improve!
