Ten-men Burgess Hill Town dig deep to win at Tooting and Mitcham

Hill started strongly and applied pressure from the start and kept the ball well but just couldn’t create a real chance so it was Tooting that had the first chance of the half when Dan Summers headed over from a corner on ten minutes.

Burgess Hill’s first chance came after twelve minutes when Neil Watts put in a dangerous free kick that fell to Sam Fisk but his shot was blocked and then Joe Keehan saw the same result as he fired in a low drive towards goal. Neil Watts created his own chance on sixteen minutes when he picked up the ball just outside the box but his well struck shot just cleared the cross bar this was followed by Hill taking the lead when Sam Fisk put in a long throw that Keehan flicked on and Darren Budd made no mistake when he smashed the ball into the top corner.
