Bognor's promotion hopes suffered a setback as they went down 1-0 at home to Dulwich Hamlet.

The Rocks gave home debuts to Steve Sargent and Scott Tipper and former Sidlesham striker Tipper was unlucky when he stooped to head a Guy Rutherford cross narrowly wide early on.

Lee Stevens then rifled a shot over, but Dulwich were a threat themselves.

Charley Side raced on to a long ball over the top but blasted his effort over the crossbar before David Birmingham cleared a Gavin Rose cross from near his own line.

Bognor were almost gifted the lead when Birmingham's cross was steered past his own keeper by Peter Adeniyi only for the ball to drift narrowly wide.

Craig Stoner made a splendid double save after the break when he raced from his line to deny Francis Quarm before tipping away the follow up from Omari Coleman.

But Quarm broke the deadlock in the 66th minute when his speculative cross-shot from the right somehow eluded Stoner at his near post.

Tipper should have equalised in the 84th minute when he beat Ward to a ball in the air and although his effort was cleared by Dave Richards, it looked as it had crossed the line.

Meanwhile, the derby between Lewes and Worthing was postponed 20 minutes before kick-off because the Dripping Pan was waterlogged.
