Burgess Hill Town completed a league double as they put in a dominating display to comfortably beat Steyning Town 3-0 at the Shooting Field in front of a large away following.

Managers Gary Mansell and Jay Lovett made two changes from the excellent 1-0 midweek victory over AFC Croydon Athletic with Bobby Price, Joe Overy and Brannon O’Neill coming in for Reggie Ward, Nathan Cooper and Ben Pope.

Hill dominated the early exchanges but were dealt a blow at Stefan Vukoje limped off and Ward came on after just six minutes.

Hill’s first chance came as Chris Whelpdale got in down the right and pulled it back for Brannon O’Neill who’s shot was saved and the rebound is blocked but O’Neill didn’t have to wait long as he opened the scoring on 19 minutes as Whelpdale keeps a move alive, he whips one in, it takes a nick and falls perfectly for the skipper to tuck home.

It was 2-0 soon after as a corner came in and the Steyning GK punches it straight up in the air and Whelpdale gets a touch and it spins into the net.

Hill continued to press and were rarely threatened. Lovely play from Marcus Allen leads us forward and he slipped in O’Neill who curls one just over with his right. Hamish Morrison then pulls one back for Martyn Box who smashes one over whilst Ryan Worrall let one fly from 25 yards as the Hill ended the half deservedly ahead.

The second half didn’t change as Hill continued to have chance after chance. O’Neill sees the GK off his line from halfway and almost executes goal of the season, but the GK just gets a hand to it

Whelpdale has been unplayable today and again he beats the backline, he crosses for Ward who headed wide. Ward went close again as he cuts inside and fires one just wide.

Kieran Rowe looks to catch the GK off his line but it’s straight at the GK whilst Worrall also went close.

The Hillians got their third goal on 89 minutes when Whelpdale pings it over the top, Bobby Price takes one touch and then volleys it over the GK as the Hill dominanted away from home for the win.
