Second half blast sinks Bexhill
Darrol Parris’ side had looked on course to make it 19 Sussex County Football League Division Two points from a possible 21 when they led through Casey Ham’s 29th minute goal at half time.
But Shane Saunders equalised just 16 seconds into the second half and went on to complete a 22-minute hat-trick. Ryan Alexander sealed the points for second-placed Hailsham with a low 25-yard drive in the 80th minute.
