Robins fly into playoffs via Dockers demolition
Highlights from the Southern Combination Premier Division match between Hassocks and Newhaven at the Beacon on Saturday 27th April 2024.
The Robins secured their playoff spot in stunning style with a 5-1 demolition of a Newhaven side who themselves could have finished runners up with victory.
Raging Joe Bull gave Hassocks an early lead before the Robins were rocked by a straight red card shown to Dan Turner prior to the half hour mark.
Not that going down to 10 men mattered. Hassocks were magnificent after Turner’s dismissal with Pat Harding doubling the lead early in the second half.
Lee Robinson pulled one back for the Dockers but that was as good as it got. Further goals from tall striker Jamie Wilkes, Jack Troak and Harvey Blake completed the rout.
Harding meanwhile was treated to a standing ovation when substituted having confirmed this would be his final appearance at the Beacon before retiring this summer – some way for Super Pat to bow out.
