Clymping twice came from behind and scored two goals in the last six minutes to book a place in the final, where they will face either Southwick Reserves or Billingshurst.

Rob Brown fired Clymping into the lead in the 10th minute, however, his goal was cancelled out by a Barnham equaliser from Ashley Harper eight minutes later.

Barnham then turned it around and took the lead through Richard Boxall on 21 minutes and that was the way things stayed until Nathan Parke equalised 20 minutes from time.

Barnham went back ahead through Harper on 74 minutes, before Clymping produced an excellent comeback to score two goals in the last six minutes and progress to the final.

In the 84th minute, Rob Brown scored his second of the game to draw his side level when he headed home Dave Speller’s free kick.

The hero of the night was Andy Brown, though, as he hit a 30-yard screamer into the top corner in the dying seconds to win the game for Clymping.
