The champagne remains on ice for champions-elect Burgess Hill after they surrendered a three-goal lead last night at Three Bridges and had to settle for a 3-3 draw.

Dave Stevens and Tim Marshall (two) struck for the Hillians but two goals from Pat Massaro dragged Bridges back into the game, before Steve Banks grabbed the equaliser with 12 minutes remaining.

Ringmer, the only side who can overhaul the Hillians, slipped to a 1-0 defeat against Chichester at The Caburn after Jamie Laidlaw got the only goal of the game after just four minutes.
