It’s difficult when a side gets to this stage of the season, out of the national cup, can no longer win the national league and have already crowned themselves the best women’s college side in Sussex. But the first of back to back games against Southgate was by no means a meaningless game. With Southgate one point ahead of Worthing, a defeat would mean that Worthing could end up 3rd and possibly

Worthing arrived at the cup final with a reaction of sorts needed after going out of the national cup semi-final the week before. Having said that Worthing’s performance was an excellent one and they were extremely unlucky. The team talk was based around one simple quote ‘The pain of discipline is a lot less than the pain of disappointment’ and the girls were not going to let themselves leave the

Parker, Bath, Roberts, Wigzell, Luke and Short. Not the name of the world’s largest firm of solicitors but the scores of the 9 (nine) Worthing College tries on Wednesday 10.11.10. Worthing went to Chichester High expecting a physical tough encounter from beginning to end. As it was Worthing started very well and made every effort to win the game early on. A strong display of running by forwards

The week began wet and windy, but finished dry and bright for the Worthing College Football Academy 1st XI, who were back in league action for the first time in over a month against a Ravenswood School side that had moved their way to second place in the ECFA League. Looking at league position this was going to be an extremely tough affair, especially away from home. Preparations took a turn

After a week's rest both Football Academy sides were back in action with important cup matches. The training week began well with injuries beginning to clear, however this was short lived with Matt Chester (back) and Joe Warner (ankle) adding to the long and extensive injury list. Even with this both teams went into the matches looking to build on a week's rest and a positive training

Worthing went to Lewes to face Sussex Downs in the Second round of the Men’s BCS cup, and came back being able to tell the happy side to an eventful match.Worthing went 2-0 down early on but showed good resolve and hit back instantaneously with the score swaying 3-2 to the visitors.With plenty more twists in the tail, the home side hit back to level the scores before taking a 4-3 lead.

Worthing College 0-2 PrioryWorthing suffered only their 2nd defeat of the season in a game where they could have had the game easily wrapped up by half time but for some wasteful finishing. The game started very evenly with both teams attack with some creativity and creating a couple of early chances, Lauren Binfield making an impressive save from the onrushing Priory forward. Priory where

With the half term approaching Worthing College Football Academy were looking to sign off in style with two positive performances, which should turn into positive results. The 1st XI travelled west to Chichester High School for a 1st round County Cup tie, whilst the 2nd XI took to the Worthing United stage to take on Uxbridge.Again injuries and unavailabilities forced both sides to make changes

Beautiful surroundings and a pleasant day the setting for the Daily Mail round 2 cup match. Worthing fresh from a substantial educational experience last week were keen to get right back on the horse, and so they did. The game was hotly contested from start to finish and probably should have been over as a contest long before its official conclusion. Hurst went in front with a well struck penalty

Its not often you go away from home score 7 and lose but that is the fate Chichester suffered on Wednesday against a much changed Worthing Side in this 15 goal thriller were there was never more than a goal between the two sides. After a slow start from Worthing they fell behind to a simple long ball that was flicked on and Chichester quick forward out raced them and put the ball home. Worthing

A week of defensive work eventually paid off with plenty of opportunity to put systems and individual technique under pressure via an indifferent performance. The first half started with Worthing setting themselves the target of not conceding a penalty on the defensive side of the ball. This did not get achieved and as soon as the first minute KEGS’s Christmas arrived in the form of 15 Navy and

After a couple of intense training sessions both Football squads were looking for wins to add to their efforts in training. Preparation was hampered though by a number of injuries and unavailabilities, which decimated the squad from 36 strong to 24 holding on!

On first glance this could take you back to the early 1980s and an excited Norwegian football commentator, ‘Peter Corrigan, Ben Coulson, Paul Cox your boys took one hell of a beating.’ Well not so a defeat yes a beating not so much.
