Wormull looking to 'get one over' Bognor Regis Town in Burgess Hill Town's first Sussex Senior Cup final in 21 years
The Hillians lost both games against their divisional rivals this season, including an 8-0 thrashing in October.
Both sides have struggled for success in Sussex’s premier cup competition, with Bognor Regis finalists just five times in the past 30 years, last winning the final in 1987.

Wormull said: “As a club, we want to try to get one over them but, for the neutral, it’s two good footballing teams and I think it will be a cracking game to watch.
“I’m so proud of the boys and that we’ve managed to get to this final so hopefully it will just be a decent end to the season.
“At one point there was talk about it being put back but we had five of our players away so it’s been great that it’s on Tuesday as we can field the guys that have got us there.”

Manager Wormull also thanked the fans’ support through a season that saw their four-year stint in the Bostik Premier come to an end.
He said: “It’s been a difficult season.
“When I took over after 13 games, we had three points and we were always chasing. It was difficult to keep that intensity to move forward with the small squad we had but they’ve done great.
