A piece of unlucky goalkeeping by Mussels' Darren Prior gifted Hailsham striker Scott French a tap-in opener on 19 minutes.

Hailsham doubled their lead five minutes before half-time. A Stuart Lewis header found the outstretched boot of John Fitzpatrick, and with composure, Fitzpatrick powerfully placed a volley into the top corner.

Shoreham pulled a goal back on 54 minutes when Owen Callaghan struck home his 12th goal of the season.

Mussels equaliser came with just a minute to go.Rob Boddy was tripped in the penalty box and Dan Jordan oozed composure as he sent Russell Tanner the wrong way.
