BURGESS Hill captain Daren Newman could face a lengthy ban after referee Dave Phillips confirmed he had sent off Newman for spitting at an opponent during Tuesday's RUR Cup final against Wick.

Newman already has another suspension hanging over him following his red card during a league game against Redhill earlier in the season.

Hillians lost 1-0 to Wick but they still have plenty to play for.

Boss Alan Pook reckons seven more wins will clinch a hat-trick of league titles and they seek the first of those against Langney Sports at Leylands Park tomorrow.

Then on Wednesday they face Eastbourne Town in the semi-final of the League Cup at Peacehaven FC.
