Worthing Football Club take a break from BetVictor Premier League action this evening as they make the trip up the A24 to face Horsham in the quarter final of the Sussex senior Cup at The Camping World Community stadium.

The tie comes 12 days after The Reds’ Boxing Day triumph against this evening’s opponents, curtesy of a brace from Ollie Pearce and a first half goal from Alex Parsons to give them a 3-0 victory.

Worthing eased to a 3-0 win away to AFC Varndeanians at The Withdean stadium in the previous round of the competiton, while Horsham eventually overcame Littlehampton Town thanks to a penalty shootout, after Alex Kelley equalised for The Yellows with a minute of normal time remaining to set up tonight’s clash.

A win for The Mackerels would see them reach the semi-final stage for the first time since 2016, when they defeated Whitehawk on penalties after a 2-2 draw – going all the way to the final and narrowly losing at the hands of National League south side Eastbourne Borough by a goal to nil.
