Littlehampton Suter left to rue dropped points in Bexhill draw

Golds missed several chances and Suter said: “We should have won, but in the end both teams could have nicked it.

“We had a lot of chances, on paper it looks okay, but it’s two points dropped.

“We’re on a decent run of form and the performance was pleasing, but if anyone deserved to win, it was us.”

Littlehampton’s Jason Jarvis put a couple of chances wide, and Barney Boutwood fired over, and Ben White then hit the crossbar for Bexhill.

Scott McDonald’s miss-hit shot gave Bexhill the lead on 65 minutes and Golds defender Chris Hazell then cleared off the line from Allan McMinigal.

Littlehampton drew level on 80 minutes through Niall O’Hagan’s half-volleyed finish and both sides then traded chances, Golds’ best one fell to Dave Gaskin, who was inches away from finding a winner.

Despite the draw, Littlehampton, who extended their unbeaten league run to five games, dropped a place to 14th in the table.

Golds host Oakwood in the league on Saturday and travel to Sidley in the RUR Cup second round on Tuesday.

LITTLEHAMPTON: Fuller; Goff, McKay, Hazell, Wollers; Beadle, O’Hagan, Hellen, Gaskin; Boutwood, Jarvis. Subs: Collender (Jarvis 75), Crawford (Goff 67), White.
