The visitors regained the lead after 65 minutes as yet another corner-kick proved costly for Hadleigh and Stavinas netted.

With slope and wind advantage after the break ‘Hall applied pressure on the visiting goal with Crump called into action to claim the ball from Steve Holler following Turner’s deep cross and then to hold Blake’s shot from distance.
