The young Hornets brought the club its first piece of silverware in 2010, coming from behind to defeat divisional rivals Highdown Saints 'A' 2-1 in the final of the Arun & Chichester League Cup at Arundel.

Horsham had already met Highdown twice in the league this season, going down to 1-2 and 2-3 defeats to the current leaders, and they were behind after just 10 minutes. A slow, nervy start from Richard Wootton's side  saw them punished when the Saints' striker turned the defence and drilled a low shot past the goalkeeper.

This was the wake up call that was needed and Horsham started to close down and put pressure on the ball more consistently. Highdown had chosen to try and man mark the dangerous Finn Bigg for the duration but this left space for James Tilley who received the ball and levelled the scores on 22 minutes with a 15 yard drive that flew in to the roof of the net.

Horsham's midfield continued to work tirelessly and their hard work was rewarded with a second goal when the ball was worked out to Tilley again who crossed low into the box. Bigg lost his marker and lifted the ball over the 'keeper to make it 2-1, just before the break.

Horsham put in an excellent second half  display and, although no further goals were scored, both 'keepers were tested. Lewis Reeves was impeccable at the back, winning the ball time and time again off the Highdown striker and only a last ditch tackle prevented Hugo Cowen from extending the lead after collecting the ball in his own half and carrying the ball into the oppositions 18 yard box.

The Hornets were full of running until the end and Ali Kerr was only inches away from making it 3-1 with a sweet drive  that just went over the bar from 20 yards but the whole squad played their part on the day and deserved the win.
