Having beaten Slough and Torquay in the space of four days last week, the Rebels fell behind to a Josh Rees goal midway through the first half – and it was 2-0 nine minutes later when Dominic Poleon netted.
Teddy Jenks’ calm finish ignited hopes of a Worthing fightback early in the second half but Adam Hinshelwood’s side could not salvage a point.
It leaves them third – with the Urchins leapfrogging them to go second. Worthing are on 58 points, Hornchurch 59 – although Dorking now have an eight-point lead at the top.
Worthing host Chesham on Tuesday and go to Tonbridge on Saturday.
