Hill boss departs

Burgess Hill Town got back to winning ways at local rivals Haywards Heath Town last night, climbing out of the relegation zone as a result- but it seems that it was too late to save boss Jay Lovett, who has been announced as departing the club this afternoon.

This season has been far tougher, and prior to last night's victory Hill had slipped into the bottom four after eight matches without a win.
