Everybody Hursts (sometimes)

Newhaven FC visited Billingshurst FC in the 1st round of the Sussex Challenge Cup

After last weeks goalfest at Loxwood, the Dockers made a number of changes for the visit to Victoria Fields to take on the Hurst from the League below.

In a scrappy first half the Dockers struggled to get into their stride with the hard fighting Hurst.  They went 2 goals ahead with a Rogers brothers brace.  Lack of concentration led to 2 goals for the host and it was 2-2 at the break.

The second half saw better play at times but with no result.  In the 90th minute,  a Hurst break was end when Buss 🚌 brought down the man and their no. 9 Archie put in away.  There was enough added time for the Dockers level up but it wasn't their night tonight.   

Catering was a little limited but nice friendly club. 

POTM:  Honourable mention goes to Henry for the Dockers whose surging runs from defence were the highlight of a lacklustre performance but the Hursts no.9 Archie was exciting to watch so gets the award. Git!
Last comment: What was the lino on our side seeing?  Offside from a free kick when there was a defender on the line. 🤡 Help. If anyone has a spare fortnight to explain the offside rules to me that would be lovely. Bring Tequila 🤪

Good luck to Billingshurst in the next round. 

See you soon.
