Bognor Regis Town v Chichester City - pre-season derby day in pictures

It finished all square when Chichester City visited Bognor Regis Town to complete the neighbouring teams’ runs of pre-season friendlies.

Luke Pardoe put Danny Hollands’ Rocks ahead from the penalty spot on 32 minutes but ex-Bognor forward Brandon Chebby scored a second half equaliser for Miles Rutherford’s team.

The season proper kicks off for both side on Saturday – the Rocks face Abbey Rangers in the FA Cup and Chi host Poole Town for their Southern League Premier South opener.
