Highlights: Bognor Regis Town 1 Hornchurch 2

By Ian Townsend

The Urchins turn defeat into victory in added time


Leaders Hornchurch made the long trip to the West Sussex coast, where they took on Bognor Regis Town. The Urchins started the day with a nine point lead at the top, and with six wins in a row under their belts, but they didn’t have the best of starts to this one , Alfie Bridgman putting the Rocks ahead on eight minutes. The Rocks were always likely to be tough opponents, and so it proved, as they still held that lead as the match went into added time- but then, disaster for the hosts, as Craig Robson was sent off. That boosted the visitors, and four minutes later- on ninety + five- Liam Nash somehow found an equaliser- and, of course, the Urchins then got a winner, Lewis Manor with it, eight minutes into added time, to hold onto that nine point advantage.
