Having
won their first 3 games and conceding only 1
goal, Hassocks were confident of making it 3
wins on the trot.
Again
they dominated play and achieved their 3rd
clean sheet in 3 league games. Unfortunately
they could not turn their dominance into
goals as a hard working East Grinstead
defence made it a very tough game.
Hassocks
best chance fell to Robbie Kitchen when a
clever Nathan Miles pass put him clear
but the goalie saved well.
Twice
East Grinstead cleared off the line
when Dicky Fernley corners caused all kinds
of problems.
The
same pattern followed in the 2nd half again
Hassocks best chances came from corners.
Steve Spies with a near post run, headed
just wide and at the 'death' Ian Church rose
high but was unable to keep the ball below
the crossbar.
Although
frustrated with a 0-0 draw, Hassocks were
pleased to keep another clean sheet as Jason
Gander (youth team goal keeper) had a fine
game as did the other Youth teamers.
Tom
Barnes made his full debut in the centre of
midfield and Jamie Hillwood and Nathan Miles
continued to impress the Hassocks
management team. 3 games gone and joint top
with 7 points!
