After a 6-2 victory in the first qualifying round of the FA Vase on Saturday, Steyning fought back from a goal down to progress in the Peter Bentley Cup on Tuesday.

After a scrappy start to the game, Wick went ahead on 31 minutes when Matt Noble bundled the ball home from a corner.

It did not take Steyning long to level as Callum Towse’s corner flew straight in on 39 minutes.

Steyning got the winner 11 minutes into the second half when Craig Knowles – who scored twice in Saturday’s tie – rounded the Wick keeper and tapped home.

Steyning will travel to Southern Combination League leaders Newhaven in the next round.

Town are in cup action again on Saturday when they travel to Midhurst & Easebourne in the first round of the Sussex RUR Cup.
