News ... #16   Top of Page Burgess Hill Town FC 2 -0 Eastbourne Town FC (Lloyd Cotton, Richard Greenfield) 25th August 2008 Manager Jamie Howell can celebrate his 50th appearance for Burgess Hill after another good performance. Below, Lloyd Cotton blasts the ball across the keeper for the first goal. The Mid Sussex Times report ...... Another win for Hillians ... After opening their winning account in style at Whitstable on Saturday, Burgess Hill followed up with a comfortable 2-0 derby victory at home to Eastbourne Town. It took them until stoppage time at the end of the first half to break the deadlock but by then they had created enough chances to have had the points in the bag. With Albion youngster Kane Louis offering pace and movement up front and helping take some of the heat off skipper Steve Harper, Hillians played with plenty of new-found confidence. Harper missed a great early chance and then forced a smart save from Russ Tanner, while Richard Greenfield hit the bar with a cross-cum-shot and plenty of other chances went begging before Lloyd Cotton struck with an angled drive to send the hosts in with a well deserved half-time lead. They were not so impressive after the break and Town came more into the game, with Gary Brockwell always looking comfortable on the ball. But Hillians always had the edge and more or less settled the issue with their second goal on 61 minutes. Referee Warren Atkin played a good advantage as Louis played in Greenfield out on the right and he scored with a low drive. Town had their moments up front but could have no complaints about the final result. Match Sponsor Eddie Benson of 'The Bitter End' Football Social Club Bar with Man of The Match: Kane Louis 'Supporter of The Day'

News ... #12   Top of Page Burgess Hill Town FC 0 - 2 Leatherhead FC 16th August 2008 # Lloyd Cotton : Man of The Match lineup: Craig Stoner, Matt Piper, Reuben French, James Martin, Danny Gainsford, Nick Fogden, Steve Harper (c), Lloyd Cotton, Matt Russell, Jamie Howell, Ben Johnson subs: Richard Greenfield, Stuart Townsend, Phil Elkins, James Westlake The Mid Sussex Times saw it like this 'Poor start for Hillians' ... It was a disappointing start to the Ryman League football season for Burgess Hill on saturday as they lost 2-0 at home to Leatherhead. There was not much to choose between the teams in a goalless first half but after the break Hillians gifted the visitors both goals. A bad error by new keeper Craig Stoner presented Burgess Hill old boy Stewart Holmes with the first on 54 minutes and then a complete misunderstanding in defence enabled the impressive Tommy Hutchins to lob Stoner after 78 minutes. As in their pre-season friendlies, Hillians looked like they will struggle to score goals although they appeared fairly solid elsewhere. The closest they came to scoring was a minute before the killer second goal when skipper Steve Harper hit a post after good work by Ben johnson and player-manager Jamie Howell.

News ... #5   Top of Page RIP Jim Thompson It is with great sadness that the club has to announce the death of former Manger JimThompson. Jim Thompson had become a cornerstone of the Club over the last few seasons. Working closely with Peter Miles and Gary Croydon to establish the club in the Isthmian league, particularly with the up and coming players, he will be sadly missed by all the Club. At this time our thoughts are with his Family & Friends. Gary Croydon had this to say ... "Jim Thompson loved football and for those of us who were privileged to work with him, he will be a huge loss a true Gentleman of the game and irreplaceable."
