Former Albion player Robbie Reinelt scored twice to consign Bognor to a 2-1 defeat at Braintree last night in Ryman League division one.
The game had looked destined to be a goalless draw after the first hour had passed but on 67 minutes Reinelt converted Courtney Naylor's cross.
He added a second soon after from a similar build up.
Bognor replied in injury time with a penalty by Jamie Howell.
The Rocks' on loan keeper from Farnborough, Dannie Coleman, had a good game.
Eastbourne United pulled off a surprise as braces from David Harris and Ian Dickens fired them to a 4-0 win over hosts Saltdean.
