Theo Widdrington, Brad Lethbridge and Mason Walsh were on target for Bognor at Enfield in the Bostik premier as they came from an early goal down to lead 2-1 and 3-2 but a late leveller saved the day for the home side.

Jack Pearce and Robbie Blake's team are still ninth in the table with a bit to do if they're to make the play-offs.

In the Southern Combination premier, Chichester City took command early on at home to Little Common and ran out 5-1 winners. Scott Jones hit three, Josh Clack one and the other was an own goal.

That puts City ten points clear of second-placed Horsham YMCA with only seven games to go as excitement - and the possibility of promotion to the Bostik south east division - mounts at Oaklands Park.
