Match Preview:

Our Opponents:
Burgess Hill Town nicknamed the Hillians are now in their 5th season in the Isthmian South East having been relegated from the Isthmian Premier in 2018/19. They are managed by Gary Mansell who recently took over the reigns at the beginning of December. They currently sit in 13th place on 40 points from 33 games. They suffered their first defeat in four games losing at home to Three Bridges 2-3 on Easter Monday. Prior to that they had lost seven games on the spin including the 4-1 defeat to the Millers back in February. Their top goalscorer this season in all competitions is Dan Perry on 18, followed by Rob O'Toole on 9.

For the Millers it is yet another "cup final" as they vie with Ramsgate for the top spot. Following the results on Easter Monday the Millers now lead by 3 points, both teams have 5 to play and currently are both +58 on goal difference. The two teams meet at the Southwood Stadium on Saturday 13th April. For the Millers It is now six wins on the spin since their only league defeat of the season 4-5 at home to Three Bridges. Steve McKimm will once again be assessing any knocks prior to the visit of the Hillians and will have the opportunity to shuffle the pack should he so wish. As always it promises to be compelling, hope to see you there.
