Bognor Regis Town win at Merstham - Clack saves Chichester City

Merstham 1 Rocks 3

Isthmian premier

Fine goals from Charlie Bell, Nathan Odokonyero and Dan Gifford meant the Rocks roared back to win after being 1-0 behind at half time to relegation-threatend Merstham.

Shola Ayoola, Harrison Brook and Danny Howick all got starts.

Early on Korrey Henry teed up ex-Rocks Finlay Lovatt with a square pass before he let fly with a dipping strike of which was dealt with by Amadou Tangara.

Rocks rebuild plotted.

Brook was caught in possession near the halfway line allowing Henry a run down the left but Ethan Robb hacked it clear.

Tangara’s ball down the field led to Alfie Bridgman neatly nodding it back into the path of Bell, who knocked it wide.

Huseyin Biler got a neat cross in from the right and Henry rose highest but his header was over.

Erald Desa was offside in another Merstham attack.

Ayoola won a free-kick on the left but Bell’s delivery hit the wall. Bridgman and Calvin Davies set up Brook but a defender got there first.

Bell’s corner kick found Joe Cook but his header was gathered by Sami Tlemcani. Lovatt had two corners hacked clear at Bognor’s near post.

Desa shot with his right foot but Tangara dived to push it out and Robb cleared for a corner.

Brook and Bridgman set up Gifford, who nodded it wide.

Bell hit a corner to Harvey Whyte but his low strike was blocked by Michael Olarewaju.
