Having already played 2 hard matches in 5 days, Matt Bulley's treble chasing side faced rivals Adur Athletic in what was likely to be the League decider.

The first half started off in wet and windy conditions with Horsham having the majority of chances and, despite a scare on 10 minutes when an Adur shot went wide, they looked the more likely to score.

The deadlock was broken 3 minutes before half time when George Hall deflected a David O’Callaghan shot behind the diving 'keeper.

With the weather improving, the second half carried on in the same fashion as the first and a strong display by the Adur 'keeper was all that was keeping them in the game. The 49th minute saw a Kieran Towse drop- kick flicked on by Josh Clack into the path of Louis Masih who coolly slotted home Horsham’s second.

The young Hornets continued to pile on the pressure and chance after chance was either narrowly wide or well saved until the last minute when a solo run by Clack resulted in a shot, into the top right corner, hitting both upright and crossbar before going in.

With Horsham running out 3 – 0 winners they secure the League title and the treble.
