Haywards Heath Town claimed the SCFL Premier Division title, but the Lions denied them the double with a hard fought 1-0 win in the cup final at Hassocks.

Bennett said: "I am chuffed for the club to win something but it’s not what we set out to do. But they got a trophy and we haven’t won one for a long time so chuffed for them."

He said: "I am just pleased for the club and players. I am going to miss it because it’s a big part of my life but we’ve had a poor season."

And on the game Bennett said: "It’s a difficult one, they had loads and loads of the ball but we probably had the best chances. At the end of the day I would rather have what they got than what we got."
