BRIGHTLINGSEA REGENT came from two goals down to secure a 2-2 draw with Lewes, in their latest Pitching In Isthmian League Premier match.
The R's fell behind to a third-minute Joe Taylor strike and the same player doubled the hosts' lead, nine minutes later.
However, Dom Locke pulled a goal back on the half hour for Regent and Aaron Blair's penalty converted with nine minute remaining secured a hard-earned draw.
Regent finished the game with only ten men after Connor Barnby was sent off, late on.
What amazing support!
