Dave John is celebrating his first win over local rivals Burgess Hill as manager of Hassocks.

John saw his young side delight a crowd of over 300 at the Beacon with a 3-0 win and then declared: "They can't have any complaints, we gave them a hiding."

Luke Flomo tapped in the opener on 14 minutes after Joe Fernley's shot spilled out and an own goal from Andy Lutwyche two minutes later put the home side in control.

James Laing got the third on 57 minutes when he headed in Jack Hewitt's free-kick.

John said: "We played some brilliant football and it's nice to have beaten them because over the years we have been on the wrong end of one or two heavy defeats in the derbies."

Pagham stayed top despite a goalless draw at ten-man Selsey.

Paul Lee was sent off for a second bookable offence midway through the second half after earlier hitting the woodwork.

Matt Baker celebrated his home debut with a goal as Three Bridges continued their good run with a 3-1 win over Redhill. Doug Cashman and Steve Banks were also on target before Junior Kamara's late consolation.

A debatable penalty angered Sidlesham boss Ian Hillman as his side were held to a 2-2 draw at Chichester City United.

Hillman, who is currently banned from the dugout, thought Adam Canfield's second half challenge in the box was fair, but referee Shane Waterman pointed to the spot and Paul Thomas converted to give City a 2-1 lead.

Dave Milkins got his second of the game with 12 minutes left to rescue a point. Jamie Laidlaw was Chi's other marksman.

Eastbourne Town's Matt Jones was sent off for violent conduct in their derby clash with Eastbourne United at the Saffrons but Pete Cherry's side still secured a 1-1 draw.

Jones was booked for a lunging tackle on 58 minutes and two minutes later an off-the-ball incident earned him a straight red card and United a penalty.

Graham Morris fired home at the second attempt after Town keeper Andy Young had done well to push out his first strike. Ten-man Town lifted their game and were back on level terms on 65 minutes when striker Steve Dallaway peeled away from the United defence and lifted his shot over Mark Oldroyd.

Sam Wincell and Miles Scerri netted first half goals for Arundel in the 2-1 win at Littlehampton while Spencer Mears rescued a point for Ringmer at home to Sidley.

In division two, Worthing United are three points clear after goals from Matt Kelly, Gavin Jones, Tony Turton and Nigel Waller earned a 4-2 win over Mile Oak.
