Worthing strengthened their promotion bid in Ryman division one south after an excellent 1-0 win at Godalming last night.

Rebels suffered a blow in the warm-up when goalkeeper Alan Mansfield’s knee locked and Ross Treleaven had to go in goal.

But he was superbly protected by his defenders with Ben Andrews outstanding.

Jamie Brotherton got the only goal with a low shot in the first half.

Struggling Crowborough lost 3-2 at home to Sittingbourne.

Williams Pearoux scored against his old club as Horsham beat Three Bridges 2-1 in the Sussex Senior Cup.

The midfielder’s goal was cancelled out by Dean Wright but Jean-Michel Sigere got the winner on the hour.
