Ben Purcell gave Hayes an eighth minute lead at Oaklands Park – Bognor’s temporary home for a few more weeks – but goals from Lee Seok-Jae (penalty), Chad Field and Callum Laycock meant the Rocks led 3-1 by the interval.
That was the way it stayed to secure a fifth league in seven for Jamie Howell’s team, who are at home to Hartley Wintney on Saturday.
