Worthing flying again - Horsham denied win - Eastbourne Borough beaten by leaders
It was a mixed night for Sussex’s three National League South teams – with Worthing winning, Horsham drawing and Eastbourne Borough losing.
Worthing made it two Woodside Road wins in a row with a 3-1 win over Torquay in front of another 2,000-plus crowd, with goals from Brad Dolaghan, Razzaq Coleman De Graft and Remiero Moulton.
Adam Hinshelwood’s side are back up to second, with the three points coming on top of the three they picked up in Saturday’s first win of 2026, a 4-1 success over Slough Town.
It’s been a four-point week for Horsham, who followed Saturday’s win againt Hemel with a 1-1 home draw against Ebbsfleet, Rhys Murphy the scorer. The Hornets are 12th in a tightly packed table though only three points off the play-off places.
At the bottom Eastbourne Borough – on the back of Saturday’s win against Torquay – put up a brave fight against Dorking Wanderers, the leaders, but lost 2-1, despite George Alexander getting them on level terms early in the second half.
Borough are still within touching distance of the safety line – but need more wins quickly.
In the Isthmian premier, Whitehawk beat Lewes 3-1 in the night's East Sussex derby. And in the Isthmian SE division, Three Bridges went 11 points clear at the top with a 3-0 win at Hastings, who remain just above the drop zone.
