Match in pictures: Bognor Regis Town lose to Wingate and Finchley - and relegation is confirmed

The Rocks’ battle to stay in the Isthmian premier division is over – a 4-1 defeat at Wingate and Finchley confirmed their demotion as a wretched season nears its sad end.

A Tommy Lee Higgs goal from the spot gave them hope after they went 2-0 down in north London but as they fought for a late equaliser – which would still not have been enough to save them – the hosts scored twice more.

It means the Rocks’ 13-season stay at steps two and three of the non-league game is over – they will be back at step four in 2025-26.
