How The League Season Ended
Burgess Hill finished their 42-game league season in an excellent third place, amassing 90 points along the way. Sittingbourne were second with 101 points. Ramsgate topped the table with 109 points - securing the only automatic promotion spot to the Isthmian League Premier Division.




Speaking after the Hillians' final home league fixture on Bank Holiday Monday, Joint-Manager Jay Lovett said: "It was important for us to get home advantage in the play-off game, I think it's a big plus for us and with a large crowd size, it can create a big atmosphere for the players and give them an extra 10-15% advantage as well.

"Margate have hit some form as well recently, so it's going to be a very tough play-off game, but our recent results and the way we've played, it puts us in good stead where we're pleased with ourselves going into it."



Previous Meetings
Burgess Hill had the better of Margate in their two league fixtures this season, with a 2-1 win at home on October 15th, with the reverse fixture taking place just three weeks later with Hill earning a point on the road.
