3pm, Burgess Hill Town 3 Cray Valley PM 2 - Isthmian League, Division One SE, Leylands Park
With my first two morning options being called off due to waterlogged pitches, it was drive down the noon kick off at Eastbourne, this would mean a quick dash to the second game at Burgess Hill.
The welcome at Eastbourne was great, all very friendly, all wanting to chat and a lovely little tea bar with tasty sausage or bacon baps.
However the football was dreadful, not helped by a very heavy pitch - hard to control the ball and with the wind added , it was never going to be a great game.
United did manage to eventually score but the visitors managed to level in injury time.
A quick dash west, slight delay as we had to overtake a horse! But made it with 6 minutes to spare.
Great game, Burgess Hill had plenty of the ball but league leaders, Cray were great on the break and went in two up at half time. Second half was similar with Burgess Hill huffing and puffing, but did get one back however Cray looked like they would still win - then the fun! Cray player sent off for a needless challenge on the keeper (second yellow) then Cray down to 9 after a player got injured with all subs used, injury time and two late Burgess Hill goals and a win for the home team, taht never looked possible for the first 85 minutes of the game.
