Bognor took on Altrincham in the second round of the FA Trophy - and beat them 2-1 to reach the last 16 for the first time in their history.

The evening had everything - from a fleet of cars being driven on to the pitch to thaw out a frozen strip of grass to a winning wonder-goal five minutes from time and wild celebrations afterwards.
