The reverse sees them drop out of the play-off zone and down to seventh ahead of next Saturday's big West Sussex derby at home to Worthing, who are up into the top four after a 2-1 win at Wingate 7 Finchley.

It was only 1-0 at the break after Kudus Oyenuga's goal but the North Londoners took full control after the interval and strikes from Joel Nouble (2) and Karl Akinwande condemned Bognor to their largest home league defeat in a long time.

That coupled with news that closest rivals Newhaven had lost again - 2-1 at Loxwood - made it a day to savour at Oaklands Park.
