Lewes responded when Stephen Fuller scored direct from a penalty corner and then just on half time equalised when Robert Heinzl converted another penalty corner with a powerful shot into the goal. Midway through the second half Lewes took the lead when Heinzl was well positioned to convert a good move down the right from close range but Southwick deserved their equaliser 15 minutes from time and could have won it but for good saves by Lewes goalkeeper Chris Sharpe in the final minutes.
