The young Hornets began this Arun & Chichester  League fixture very well but spurned several opportunities to open their account, thanks to a combination of good defending and some poor finishing. It took a long range effort from Finn Bigg to break the deadlock, after 20 minutes, when his shot from the right beat the Worthing goalkeeper.

Despite creating few chances of their own, the visitors managed to draw level before the break when Horsham failed to clear their lines.

The second half saw the home side retake the lead through Jack Griffiths, only for this to stir the opposition in to action as Worthing conspired to score 3 times in 10 minutes as the Hornets seemed to forget how to defend.

But Horsham refused to give in and Jack Reeves made it 4-3 with only the width of the crossbar preventing Horsham from claiming a draw.

This was another hard lesson learned for Richard Wootton's side, with concentration clearly crucial for the whole match.
