Pompey loanee Brad Lethbridge put the Rocks ahead early in the second half but Alex Read levelled it up midway through the half.

It looked like the Rocks sixth successive away draw was on the cards but Walsh pounced in the dying moments to make it five wins and five draws for Bognor, who are now third in the table and just two points behind the team they beat.
