Having taken an early lead through Charles Romain’s goal, Selsey turned things around before Levoi netted as it ended 2-2.

Steyning’s character stood out for manager Gerry Murphy as they secured an away point.

He said: “The players showed great character to grab a point after a poor performance in the first half.

“It was yet another week with so many changes in the team due to injury and other commitments.

“Most teams go through a difficult spell at one point in the season, but we are still picking up points.”

Town were gifted a fourth minute lead as a misplaced pass was intercepted by Romain, who went onto finish.
