Just when Chichester City thought fortune was turning...
Liam Johnson made his goalkeeping debut for City in a line-up that included several Moneyfields players, including veteran Nathan Wall.
Redhill took the lead against the run of play on 25 minutes with Marcus Elliott beating Johnson and sending in a low cross for Leon Dussard to convert from point-blank range. But City’s response was quick, Michael Brown heading in to make it 1-1.
