They lost 2-0 at Southern League premier south side Walton Casuals to end their hopes of another glory run like the one that took them within a game of Wembley three seasons ago.

James Ewington sealed their fate with a goal midway through the first half and another just before the break, and although the Rocks had come from behind to draw their previous three games, there was no way back this time.

Pagham drew 1-1 at home to Peacehaven, failing to capitalise on Daryl Wollers' early goal.
