Worthing hammered at Truro, Eastbourne Borough and Lewes win again
and on Freeview 262 or Freely 565
In their fourth successive away game, the Rebels conceded just before the break when Jaze Kabia put the home side ahead. And it got worse in the second half as Kabia scored two more and Will Dean also scored – the three goals coming in a six-minute period.

Hide AdSeidou Sanogo added a fifth for Truro and to make matters worse for Worthing and their travelling fans, Alfie Young was sent off in stoppage time.
Eastbourne Borough were another side to face a long trip on the bank holiday roads – they went to Dorset to face Weymouth, and Siyabonga Ligendza’s goal midway through the second half was enough for three points which moved Adam Murray’s men into the play-off places.
In the Isthmian premier, a crowd of more than 1,300 saw Chichester City host Bognor at Oaklands Park. Jimmy Wild’s opener for City – against his old team – was cancelled out Matt Burgess’ leveller for the Rocks but Wild restored City’s lead just before the hour and that was enough for the victory, Chi’s second of the season.
