Bognor Regis Town lost at home for the second successive Saturday – despite battling hard and twice equalising against a strong, play-off hunting Enfield Town side at the MKM Arena.

A hat-trick by Marcus Wyllie saw the visitors maintain their position in the play off zone in front of a crowd of 794. The defeat leaves the Rocks 10th with their hopes of gatecrashing the play-offs all but over.

Harvey Whyte returned from injury and went straight into the Bognor starting line-up. An early corner kick by Enfield was defended when it went swirling into the near post.The visitors took the look early on. Scott Thomas played the ball out wide to the left and a cross by Oliver Knight to the near post was diverted in by Wyllie on just 4 minutes. At the other end, Lucas Pattenden sped beyond the defence before shooting across the goal but Rhys Forster pushed it out.Bognor levelled when Pattenden had his shirt pulled and he went to ground and a penalty was awarded. Up stepped Tommy-Lee Higgs to shoot low and in off the diving boot of the goalkeeper on 11 minutes to equalise.Hall had to dash to clear it but his ball out from the edge of the penalty area went straight to Thomas. He knocked it from almost the halfway line but Hall got back to gather that on 17 minutes.Enfield went into a 2-1 lead on 20 minutes. Bognor failed to clear the ball as it rebounded off Wyllie, who went on to round Joe Rabbetts. He went onto shoot along the deck and in as Hall was beaten.
