Burgess Hill Town U16 4 - 0 Hove Park Colts U16

Burgess Hill U16`s followed up their 4-1 away win at Peacehaven the previous week when giving old rivals Hove Park Colts a 4-0 drubbing at Leylands Park on Sunday.

This emphatic win puts them in the quarter final of the league cup where they will face Horsham.

The Hillians went ahead after 30 minutes and it was in spectacular fashion when fullback bradley chaston unleashed an unstoppable drive from fully 35 yards out that arrowed into the top corner with the Hove Park goalkeeper completely motionless.

Sean Latham nearly doubled the lead with a fine left foot shot which was pushed out for a corner.

Five minutes later Hill did go two up when the lively Max Miller fired in a low right foot drive after good work from Scott Dunkerton on the left hand side.

After the break Burgess Hill continued to dominate with Stillwell and Ford winning the midfield battle and when Hove Park did manage to get forward Bowra and Cook were impressive with their defending in front of their assured goalkeeper Tom Betts.

Midway through the second half Hill went three up.Miller latched onto a superb through ball from Dunkley,he outpaced his marker before going round the keeper and cooly slotting in with his left foot.

Burgess Hill made it four in the 75th minute when Alex Wison turned in a pull back from the evervescent Miller.

There was still time for Henry Tydeman to go close with a header late on.

Burgess Hill under 16`s really came of age in this drubbing of title rivals Eastbourne Town! However,the six two score line in favour of Hill looked extremely unlikely after ten minutes of play! A physically strong Eastbourne team started brightly and Hillians keeper elia bahig had to make two fine saves in the opening exchanges.

Then enter into the game .........Max Miller! Firstly,after 12 minutes, Miller out muscled the Eastbourne defence to slot home from just inside the box to put Hill ahead. Five minutes later,this time down the left hand side, Miller outstripped his opposing marker to sprint clear and cooly chip the keeper from the edge of the penalty area. Hill were now two up but Eastbourne were still dangerous in attack and the back four of Chaston,Stillwell ,Bowra and Latham all had to be on their game to contain a lively Eastbourne forward line.

Hill went 3 up on 18 minutes when Miller made a great run down the left hand side, beat two defenders before crossing for McCreadie.The cross was slightly behind McCreadie but he somehow re-adjusted to execute a quite brilliant overhead kick which hit the back of the net! Five minutes later Miller was at it again and deservedly grabbed his hatrick!

After good work by Charlie Dunkley.Miller was put through and his pace and power took him clear and again he finished well in the bottom corner to put Hill in dreamland at four nil up! The second half wasn`t played at the same tempo but Hill still managed to add further goals through Scott Dunkerton(55 Mins) and that man Miller got his fourth after 70 minutes.

Henry Carr and Henry Tydeman both had good efforts before the final whistle as Hill looked to run riot. A shell shocked Eastbourne team managed a couple of late goals but it could`nt detract from a brilliant team performance from a very good young Burgess Hill team.
