Comeback is too little, too late for Bognor at Windsor and Eton
TheRocks suffered a 2-1 defeat at Windsor & Eton – and slipped to third in the Isthmian South Central table.
Danny Hollands’ side fell behind on 13 minutes when Sam Hutchings struck. Alex Donville doubled the home side’s lead after 23 minutes when his effort found the back of the net having cannoned off a post.
It was definitely a game of two halves and the Rocks put the pressure on after the break – helped by the presence of Cal Laycock, who was back from a long lay-off through injury, replacing youngster Louie Williams with half an hour remaining.
Bognor managed to claw a goal back in the 89th minute through Luke Roberts but it was very much a case of too little too late at Stag Meadow in front of 401 fans.
The result was a second reverse on the spin with the Nyewood Lane outfit losing midweek at home to Egham Town.
Jersey Bulls stay top of the pile by a point despite a 3-2 loss away at Hartley Wintney. Egham sit in second, level with the Rocks on points but having played a game fewer.
Bognor get the chance to get back to winning ways on Saturday when they host Littlehampton Town, currently second from bottom in the league standings, in a keenly anticipated derby clash.
