Worthing Raiders believe they can still beat the drop.
But they will need to improve on their performance at Henley.
The 36-19 defeat was deemed a very disappointing result as the game had been very close and in the balance right up to the last ten minutes.
Both sides were guilty of making far too many errors and, although good rugby was played in patches, the game overall lacked flow and was rather scrappy.
Raiders have four more home games still to play, which gives hope.
Ben Featherstone touched down in the first half and Jack Forrest converted.
Kemp Price brushed off a couple of tackles to score under the posts and Charlie Spencer added the extras to give Raiders a 14-12 lead early in the second period.
But they then slipped away, although a Harrison Dakin try kept them in contention.
Brighton secured their first win of 2025 with a commanding 44-22 victory over Maidenhead, showcasing their physical dominance and clinical finishing.
This win marks a turning point for Brighton after a challenging season. With three games remaining, the squad will look to build on this momentum and finish the campaign on a high.
