I chose a visit to the quaint village of Steyning, not far from the A27 outside Brighton. The car park is small but street parking is plentiful. A £3 entrance fee for Step 6 at The Shooting Field, well done! The club facilities are as usual for this level, all down one side. The clubhouse seems to put on lots of entertainment for the locals. I hope this revenue is successful and helps the Club out financially.
This was a local Hove derby match but the heavy pitch was an energy sapper so any fierce rivalry was put aside in favour of surviving the 90 minutes. An unusual aspect was that Richard and Anthony were managers of each dugout but they are also the Whittingham brothers. I cant remember this happening before. It was a game of two halves. The away keeper getting a leg injury early on, restricting his movement for the rest of the game. Mile Oak however, were the better side in the first half, and Steyning had the better of the second half and a draw was the fair result.
A shot from Paine following a corner halfway through the first half gave Mile Oak the lead. The equaliser came from a fortunate deflection by Burton from a mishit shot.
