DOMINANT ROBINS THRASH SEAFORD
Hassocks 14-0 Seaford Town

The Robins bounced back from their League Cup exit the previous week at the hands of Arundel with an emphatic victory over Seaford Town at the Beacon on Sunday. 

Midfielder Adam Pattison opened the scoring in the 9th minute with a well struck shot from just inside the penalty area. 

Playing with more purpose than in recent weeks the team were playing some entertaining flowing football, creating chances at will with intelligent movement off the ball from all members of the team. 

Top scorer Laurence Robinson added a second and third goal in the 16th and 30th minute to confirm the Robins superiority in all departments. 

Matt Amos then went on a goal scoring spree with a hat-trick in 10 minutes. Seaford had no answer to the attacking prowess of their opponents and started to loose the self discipline with a series of bookings. 

Mike Goulden on his return from injury added a seventh goal late in the half and Michael Bates brought the Hassocks goal tally to eight with a neatly taken headed goal. 

Just before half time Seaford were reduced to 10 men when their captain was given a straight red card for a rash tackle on Michael Bates. 

The second half started much as the first with a goal from Laurence Robinson to complete his hat-trick in the 48th minute. 

An own goal followed shortly afterwards and Seaford suffered a further set back when reduced to nine men following yet another yellow card offence. 

Nathan Miles replacing Matt Amos then scored two further goals in the 67th and 86th minutes, a long range effort from Lewis Palmer and Pat Rose completed the scoring for Hassocks. 

This was a very much improved team performance from the young Robins with everybody firing on all cylinders against a team that had ability but self destructed with some undisciplined behavior. 

One person who deserves mention was man of the match, wing back Logan Newington, who caused the Seaford defence all sorts of problems all through the game.
