Steve Harper returned from injury to bag a stoppage time winner as Burgess Hill won 2-1 at Southwick in Matthew Clark County League division one.
Hillians trailed 1-0 until the 86th minute against a Wickers outfit who had begun the season with three straight wins.
In a game of few chances Ben Milford broke the deadlock 14 minutes from time.
Phil Churchill levelled ten minutes later following good work from substitute Ashley Carr and then fellow substitute Harper, who has missed the first two league games through injury, struck with a long range effort.
Hillians boss Danny Bloor was delighted with the victory but played down the significane of it.
He said: "Leagues are not won in August. We have a long way to go and lot of hard work to do. That is the Burgess Hill ethic. This is just another three points."
