Second-placed Little Common lost at home to Selsey and Steyning still only trail them by three points but have played a game more.

After seeing his side suffer a 6-1 defeat at the hands of East Preston in the Division 1 Challenge Cup seven days earlier, Steyning manager Gerry Murphy felt it was a much-improved performance.

He said: “We played well against a team that I think will go onto win the league. We have another important game to come on Saturday against Mile Oak.
