23 photos from Bognor Regis Town’s friendly win at Chichester City

It was a morale booster for Michael Birmingham and Jamie Howell’s side at the end of a week in which they’d had to call off a friendly because of injury problems that have hit their build-up to their Isthmian south central campaign.

And it was Chi City’s first pre-season loss as they work towards their second season in the Isthmian premier.

There was a good-sized crowd at Oaklands Park for the Friday night fixture – which was also useful for the Rocks as they’ll be getting used to the ground, where they will be playing home games until their new 3G pitch is ready.
