Elmer snatched a draw in a clash in which Angmering dominate the early spells.

That led to a breakthrough coutesy of striker Hall.

He outpaced defender Kent and slotted the ball home with a fine goal in the 11th minute.

Conditions were difficult for the referee and the players, but this did not stop both teams creating chances. Angmering piled on the pressure resulting in a star performance from Hurley in goal.

At the other end, Elmer found Angmering's No1 Dyer in fine form, keeping out first-half efforts.

With Angmering leading by a goal at the break, Elmer knew they would have to step up their game in the second half. Elmer adapted well to the conditions, sticking to their long-ball game.

An intelligent substitute by the Elmer manager saw Benn replaced by Herbert on the hour and Elmer used Herbert's long throw to good effect, creating doubt in the Angmering defence.

Sensing the momentum was with his team, the manager again used his tactical prowess by bringing on strikers Woodman and Davis with 20 minutes remaining.

Elmer heaped pressure on Angmering, creating chance after chance, and Woodman and Gillingham were determined to equalise.

This scrappy encounter was a tale of two halves as Elmer pressed until the very end, pinning back the Angmering defence. Elmer again wasted a golden oppotunity as nobody found contact with a flick-on by Davis.

The pressure on Angmering soon told as three minutes from time Elmer finally got the breakthrough they deserved.

Maclver carved open the defence with a through ball and Davis delivered by lobbing the ball over Angmering goalkeeper Dyer in emphatic style to give Elmer a draw.
