We are holding a Premier League v Non League Legends match on July 9th at Woodside Road to raise money for My University Hospital Sussex. We’re hoping for a good turnout and a great game.

Our Men’s team, who were promoted last year not only reached the play-offs this season, but also won the Sussex Senior Challenge Cup held at the Amex. This latter game had a real fairy-tale ending. Going into it, our regular goal keeper was injured and unable to play. His deputy on the weekend was also unavailable for the Reds as he was cuptied, which meant that 17-year-old, Will Tillman, made his Worthing debut and literally saved the day. The game went to

Finally, a big thank you to Michael Harmer, spotted the typo in our last article: the women’s match took place in 1918, not 1908 and also was able to confirm that the Ladies’ team won by six goals to five!
