Photos as Robins open pre-season with defeat against the Salts
Photos of the pre-season friendly between Hassocks and Epsom & Ewell at the Beacon on Saturday 9th July 2022.
New Robins head coach James Westlake took charge for the first time as Southern Combination League Division One outfit Epsom visited Mid Sussex in the opening friendly of the summer.
The game was decided with just 18 seconds played as the Salts scored straight from kick off. There were no further goals as it finished 1-0 to the visitors.
Westlake named two different XIs per half with a number of new signings including Phil Johnson, Harvey Blake, Pat Harding, Sam Cash and Alex Bygraves featuring.
Hassocks created plenty of opportunities but were unable to take any. Still, this represented a promising first runout for the new look Robins up against opponents who will be amongst the promotion favourites in the division below Hassocks.
