Burgess Hill moved five points from relegation with a 2-0 victory over fellow strugglers AFC Sudbury, a result assistant manager Stuart Tuck admitted was vital.

Tuck was pleased with his side who are “reaping the rewards” from their new improved shape, helping them to a third consecutive clean sheet, moving the Hillians up to 17th in the Ryman Premier.

The Mid-Sussex side went in 1-0 at half-time, Jack Brivio netted a fine free-kick in the 35th minute, curling the ball into the top right corner of the goal.
