Double winning Sidley United assistant-manager Peter Heritage is urging his team to follow in the foosteps of Burgess Hill and go and win the title again.

Sidley, who share their Gullivers ground with Sidley Cricket Club, may not be able to move out of the County League but that has not blunted Heritage's hunger for more silverware after a season which saw them take the John O'Hara League Cup and also the title.

Heritage said: "We know we cannot go any higher. We know that but what a feeling to actually win the title - it's fantastic."

The striker added: "Now let's go and win it again.

"That's what we have got to do next year, win it again. We have won it this time, now the sign of a good side is that we have to go and repeat what Burgess Hill used to do, and go and win it the next year. And we will.

"We have good players, we have fantastic under-17s and good under-15s and they are breaking through."

Burgess Hill won the title three seasons on the trot from 1996-97 to 1998-99 before Langney Sports, now in the Dr Martens League, ended their reign last season.

For Sidley skipper Wayne Farrier, the double success was laced with irony.

Farrier, who scored Sidley's first goal in the 2-1 win at Selsey which clinched the title, was with Langney last season when they won the County League title by a stretch.

He said: "I was with Langney but I didn't play any games because of an injury so I didn't get the medal."

He added: "I came to Sidley just to enjoy my football. I have been with Langney, came runners-up with Stamco twice, and I came here to Sidley just to enjoy it and here I am about to collect the trophy. Cool."

Dave Ward said: "No-one deserves this more than Wayne."

Paul Balch does collect a second title winner's medal as he was also at Langney.

Heritage is now hopeful that Sidley's success under manager Dickie Day will attract a main sponsor.

Heritage said: "Sponsor Ray Cheale has stood by us all the way through but we really need a main sponsor to get behind us."
