Bennett cannot wait for season to get underway
Golds have their last first-team pre-season friendly away to Ryman League Burgess Hill on Saturday, before they begin their County League Division 1 season at Hassocks on August 10.
Bennett said: “I can’t wait for the season to start and to get going again as pre-season is always a bit of a nightmare.

Bennett has signed winger Scott Hunt, who played at Southwick the season before last, and is hopeful of adding another signing or two.
He said: “I’m looking for a couple more. I’m looking for someone experienced as we are a fairly young side and we might need that experience when games are tight next season.
“I’m also hoping to get someone else signed on before Saturday, but I feel we’re a stronger squad than last season and a lot more balanced.”
Hunt joins Liam Humphreys, Ash Harper and Mark Burgess as Golds’ summer signings.
