Late equaliser denies United
BEXHILL United had to settle for a 1-1 draw away to Ifield after conceding an equaliser in the final minute of added time.
An incredible eight minutes of injury time had been added when United failed to clear their lines and Hatton headed home from close range.
In the aftermath of the goal United substitute Ray Bage and an opponent were both given their marching orders, apparently for their roles in a frank exchange of opinion.
