Horsham FC have up-and-down week as pre-season nears end
Horsham FC saw their unbeaten pre-season run come to an end – before bouncing back in style in their final home friendly.
The Hornets returned to Sutton on Saturday for the first time since their FA Cup second round clash in December 2023.
The U’s ran out 3-0 winners that day as they advanced to the third round for the first time in seven years – and again got the better of Horsham at the weekend.
Temi Babalola’s first half double secured a 2-0 win for Chris Agutter’s men and brought an end to the Hornets’ four-game unbeaten run in friendlies.
But the Hornets returned to winning ways on Tuesday night against Crystal Palace U21s. Horsham signed off pre-season at home in style with a convincing 4-1 victory over the Eagles.
Reece Myles-Meekums (2), Lee Harding and Jamie Yila fired the Hornets into a four-goal half-time lead before Adler Nascimento pulled one back in the second half.
Horsham’s pre-season comes to a close this Saturday at Worthing. The Hornets’ National League South campaign gets underway the following weekend at Torquay.
