Mark said: "I've returned as manager for many reasons but I felt I had some unfinished business here from my last spell.

"During the time I spent here we did well winning the Mid Sussex Cup but I decided to take a break because I had new children.

"It was a mistake and I was disappointed didn't see it through. It's good to be back."

On Saturday they completed a double header against Westfield, drawing 1-1 in the first game and losing 4-0 in the second.

Mark added: "We've got some new and old faces that I've worked with over the last three or four years. It's been extremely pleasing."
