Phillips left the bench to tuck away a chance from close range and cap a 5-2 victory over Angmering for the newly crowned champions.

Phillips said: “I’m glad a cunning devil like my good self was able to deftly to stick it past such a grand goalkeeper and into the bottom left corner.“I look forward to scoring more next season. I love my team.”
