Worthing boss Simon Colbran insists tomorrow’s opponents Folkestone Invicta are under more pressure than his side.

The table-topping Rebels go into the game against former leaders Folkestone three points clear of second-placed Croydon Athletic who have three games in hand.

Folkestone, who have had ten points deducted for financial problems, are a further point behind with a game in hand on Worthing.

Colbran said: “The pressure is off us because Croydon and Folkestone have games in hand. They are the ones under pressure. We have over-achieved this season and everyone knows wherever we finish will be a bonus.”

Centre-back Glen Woodburn is the only absentee for Worthing due to cracked ribs. Karly Akehurst made his comeback from a broken ankle with a midweek substitute appearance after the Rebels beat Walton Casuals to make it seven wins on the trot.

Ryan Woodford is available after nearly four months out with knee ligament damage.
