Second 1-1 draw in space of four days for Hassocks
While Saturday’s fine point at home to Horsham was based on a remarkable resilience in defence, this time the Robins could consider themselves a tad unlucky not to take a victory at what is traditionally one of their happier hunting grounds despite playing for all but the last quarter of an hour without a recognised striker.
Weekend scorer Nathan Miles missed out along with the equally dangerous Jamie Hillwood, forcing Hassocks into playing the mercurial Mark Price as a false 10 with the returning Kieran O’Callaghan doing a dominating job in midfield on what was his first appearance since mid-February.
