It started so well for Bognor Regis Town at Folkestone – but ended with them on the wrong end of a heavy defeat.

Thngs looked promising for Robbie Blake’s men when top scorer Nathan Odokonyero fired them into a fifth minute lead, but that was as good as it got.

Adam Yusuff and Scott Heard struck either side of the half-four mark to put Invicta into a half-time lead, then Nathan Green and, late on, Ira Jackson made sure of the points for them after the break.

They were the only Sussex side in Isthmian premier action this weekend, with freezing conditions claiming matches involving Horsham, Lewes and Hastings.

The Isthmian south east division was also badly affected by the wintry weather though Lancing pushed high-flying hosts Chatham all the way – Kane Louis scoring for them on the hour – before slipping to a 2-1 defeat.
