Matchday programme from the Battle of the Birds
The matchday programme from Hassocks’ Southern Combination League Premier Division match against Loxwood on Saturday 4th March 2023 is now available to download for free.
Taking all the headlines was the Under 18s’ march into the semi finals of the Sussex Bluefin Dennis Probee Youth Cup. There was a full preview of their last four clash taking place the following day against Whitehawk at the Beacon.
Games between Hassocks and Loxwood tend to be high scoring with one such encounter from the 2015-16 season recalled when an eight-goal thriller went 5-3 in favour of the Magpies at the Nest.
On this Day meanwhile went back 18 years to a meeting with Shoreham, where Pat Harding played on with a head bloodied in the first half. It was all in vain however as the Robins were beaten 1-0 by the Musselmen.
