Dave John saw his Hassocks side stun leaders Pagham, then admitted: "That has opened it up for everyone."

Robins won 3-0 at Nyetimber Lane with second half goals from James Laing (two) and Luke Flomo as the Rich City title race took another twist on Saturday.

John refuses to talk about his side as possible champions but said: "I was really pleased with our overall performance.

"We had another three chances and they didn't really create anything, even though they played some good football.

"I don't think we are good enough to win the league but we will give it a go."

Burgess Hill boss Gary Croydon believes Pagham's slip and his team's 2-1 win against Littlehampton was good for Sussex football.

His men were rescued from dropping two points when Ashley Carr headed home Andy Lutwyche's 90th minute cross.

Croydon declared: "It makes things interesting now. All the neutrals will be a bit more excited about the championship run-in than they might have been before these results."

Derek Chester gave Littlehampton the lead, but Lee Isaac levelled.

Sidley are being talked about as dark horses for the title after their 2-1 win at Wick.

The visitors sat back and attacked on the break, with Peter Baker setting up goals for Adam Day and Paul Balch.

Assistant boss Peter Heritage said: "We are as good as any team in the league on our day and we will keep working hard."

Ben Milford scored Wick's equaliser.

Horsham YMCA went back to the top thanks to a bizarre own goal.

Saltdean's James Fensome sent a fierce volley flying past his own goalkeeper to give YM a 2-1 win at Gorings Mead.

Tigers went ahead with a gift as Ellis Hooper headed into his own net but Nick Flint teed up Phil Churchill to equalise.

One moment of quality was enough for Eastbourne United to win 1-0 at home to Redhill in a dour tussle.

Nick Barden's cross was sweetly driven home by Carl Harris from 18 yards.

Selsey had two Paul Lee penalties to thank for their 2-1 home win over Eastbourne Town.

The visitors led at the break through Tristan Donovan's good finish but Lee twice converted from the spot.
