Heath edge five-goal thriller in front of bumper Boxing Day crowd
Highlights from the Southern Combination Premier Division match between Hassocks and Haywards Heath Town at the Beacon on Tuesday 26th December 2023.
A bumper Boxing Day crowd of over 500 were treated to a five-goal thriller which Heath edged 3-2 to take all the points back to Hanbury Park.
Hayden Skerry put the Bluebells 1-0 ahead midway through the first half. It looked it would stay that way going into the break until 17-year-old Josh Nandhra marked his full home debut with 43rd minute equaliser for Hassocks.
Josh Spinks headed Heath back into the lead within five minutes of the second half before an unfortunate own goal from Bradley Tighe moved the visitors 3-1 ahead.
Substitute Sean Stephenson pulled one back a couple of minutes after coming off the bench to set up a nervy finale. Heath though held on despite ending the game with 10 men after Spinks was sent to the sin bin late on.
