Bognor have three games left and the best they can hope for is overhauling Whitehawk so they do not finish bottom. The Hawks' fate was sealed with a 4-3 loss at Braintree.

Elsewhere, there was better news for a number of Observer-area sides - particularly for Bosham, who are through to the final of the SCFL Division 2 Cup.

Facing Cowfold at Steyning in the semi-final, Bosham reached the final of a competition they won in 2015 and 2016 with goals from Graeme Dowden and Grant Radmore after the opposition had taken a second-half lead.

In SCFL action, two goals from Rob Hutchings and one from Scott Jones earned Chichester City a fine 3-1 home win over Three Bridges, a boost after two straight defeats for Miles Rutherford's team.
