Highlights: Haywards Heath Town 2 Sevenoaks Town 5

A terrible day for Heath in their relegation fight


Haywards Heath Town welcomed Sevenoaks Town in a match critical to the hopes of the hosts, who started the match in eighteenth place, two points away from safety and faced with the prospect of a relegation play off. Heath had only one win from ten, and now it is one from eleven after the Oaks hit five at Hanbury Park. Dami Olorunnisomo opened the scoring for the visitors after just two minutes, and an own goal quickly doubled their advantage. On sixty five minutes Heath had a lifeline, Byron Napper halving the arrears, but nine minutes from time Freddie Parker restored the visitors two goal advantage. Napper pulled it back to three-two with three minutes remaining, but Parker went right back up the other end and scored again, before Josh Ogunleye made it five right at the end. Heath are two points from safety with one match left to play, with the side two points ahead of them local rivals Burgess Hill Town.
