They finished in emphatic style with an 8–1 win over Horsham A, keeping them firmly in control of the title race heading into the final day.
There was further cause for celebration in Division 2, where newly promoted Worthing C, Roscoe Hill, Finn Barr and Jinxy He, produced a flawless display to top the table and secure promotion to the top division. The team claimed a 7–2 win against Horsham B, followed by a 6–3 victory over South Croydon B, before ending the day with a hard-fought 5–4 win over Limpsfield A, a side recently relegated from Division 1. This result guarantees that Worthing will field two teams in the top division on the final day of the competition.
In Division 3, Worthing B, Ava and Evie Muggeridge and Ashley Almedia, showed great resilience to retain their place in the division after a tense day’s play. They narrowly lost 5–4 to Limpsfield B, responded superbly with a 5–4 win over Brighton B, and despite a 6–3 defeat in their final match, did enough overall to secure safety.
