Another win for Hillians
Published Date:

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.
