Worthing and Haywards Heath face a last day duel to be Sussex's top team in the league.

The rivals are locked together on 19 points in London One.

Their battle to be top dog will be the main point of interest when league programmes are concluded a week on Saturday.

The odds favour Worthing. They have the better points difference and go Bishops Stortford on the last day while Heath host champions Canterbury.

Worthing also have the Sussex Trophy to their name but Heath had a great run in the Powergen Intermediate Cup.

And Heath are on a high now after a high-scoring afternoon which saw them win 54-25 at relegated Old Colfeians while Worthing were losing 39-27 at home to Ealing.

Heath coach Ian Davies, who will move to Worthing at the end of the season, said: "With our cup run and a young, developing team you could argue we have had the better season. "Our aim was to finish in mid-table and we are looking to go out on a positive note."

Colfs led 13-12, despite tries by Rob Skelton and Guy Cook.

Heath took command after the break, running in tries by Lee 'Otuhouma (2), Neil McGovern, Jamie Redmayne, Dave Wattam and Andrew Marienburg, many of them on fast counter attacks.

Owen Ashton kicked five conversions.

Worthing were 26 points adrift after an hour but a spirited comeback was only halted when they conceded a soft try from a close range scrum near the end.

Trailing 32-6, they roused themselves with scores from Ben Coulson, Terry Butler and Steve Dove.

Dan Howells converted all three to go with two first-half penalties.

Lewes completed the double over Maidstone with a lively 26-24 home win in London Two South. But they had a last-gasp let-off as a drop goal attempt bounced back off the post.

Hooker Jamie Gray scored after Lewes had forced a handling error, then Mike Rust finished off a Matt Sole break after a great move as Lewes raced into a 13-0 lead.

Sean Taylor added a 60-yard finish and Mark Griffiths scored thanks to good support play as the advantage was stretched to 26-7 before Maidstone responded.

Neil Rumble kicked two penalties for Lewes but saw his final conversion attempt bounce off both posts and stay out.

Bognor snatched a 19-17 home win over Gravesend in London Three South East, though their performance did not match that they produced in the Sussex Trophy final a week earlier.

Dave Sweeney scored their first try and front row man Steve Worthington found himself on the wing to add a second. Rob Parry kicked three penalties but Gravesend had a last-minute try disallowed.

Bognor captain Nigel Mitchell said: "It was fair enough. The guy was in touch.

"We played well in the final and we thought this one would be a walkover but Gravesend were strong up front and I think they were up for it."

Chichester enjoyed a 41-17 win at Brighton.

Eastbourne preserved London Four South East status with a 17-10 win at relegated Horsham.

All the points came in the second half.

Matt Thompson and Karl Schwick scored tries with man-of-the-match Nathan Ring kicking a penalty and two superb conversions to open a 17-0 lead after the hosts had a lock sent-off.

Hove salvaged a 25-25 home draw with Dover after a hectic finale.

They led 11-0 going into the last ten minutes, thanks to Nick Marshall's try and a penalty and a drop goal from Adam Phillips.

Dover scored three tries between the 70th and 75th minutes to lead 25-11.

Joe Broun replied and Alex Robertson scored at the posts right on time, with Phillips' two conversions levelling the scores.
