Mid Sussex Football League Premier Division

ROBINS OUTCLASSED BY LEAGUE LEADERS
Old Varndeanians 3-0 Hassocks

If there was any team in this division who are better at playing football, then I don't think I have seen one. 

On a glorious pitch with a great surface Old Varndeanians tormented Hassocks 3rds and deservedly won 3-0. 

It could have been a lot more if Old V's had not missed so many chances especially in the 1st half as Hassocks found it difficult just to get hold of the ball and keep it. 

With all of Old V's team very comfortable in possession they passed the ball around like it was a 5 aside game with lots of pass and movement and not giving the ball away. 

This is the instructions we give out every week but its not always easy in practice but there again Old V's were superb at it. 

The facts are simply we were down 2-0 at half time and they got a third after just 10 minutes of the 2nd half. 

We probably failed to get a shot on target and had very little of the ball. 

After 2 very good victories this was disappointing for Hassocks but there again - credit to Old V's who were excellent and give us something to aspire to. 

This week we are at home to Newick on Monday and look to forward to a better performance!
