South Saxons made an instant return to winning ways in South Hockey League Sussex Area – Division One.
Saxons bounced back from being knocked off the top the previous weekend with a come-from-behind 4-2 win at home to Brighton & Hove III on Saturday.
An early short corner followed by a goal on the counter-attack put Brighton 2-0 up, but a George Eldridge penalty flick halved Saxons’ deficit at half time.
Toby Reed levelled from a short corner early in the second half, man of the match Eldridge, pictured, put Saxons ahead and Jim Towers completed the turnaround.
