The Rebels rounded off a perfect Easter weekend on Monday, defeating fellow play-off contenders Hampton & Richmond Borough at the Sussex Transport Community Stadium.
19-year-old Brad Dolaghan bagged a brace in the Rebels’ 2-0 win over the Beavers – just his second and third goals for the club.
With four games to go, Worthing are firmly in the battle for third place, currently sitting 5th, just two points behind Braintree Town who occupy that all-important 3rd position.
Keeping tabs on the battle for third, elsewhere, Braintree make the trip to Weston-super-Mare, while 4th-placed Maidstone United face an in-form Farnborough side on their travels.
The Opposition
Yeovil Town could clinch the title this weekend, should they win and Chelmsford City lose to Slough Town.
Despite a recent blip where the Glovers dropped ten points in four games in March, they have seemingly found their form once more with back-to-back wins over Braintree Town and Torquay United.
Their recent fixture at Weymouth was abandoned after 75 minutes at Weymouth due to a medical incident. Thankfully, the club confirmed that the fan who was taken ill was released from Dorchester Hospital earlier this week. The club also confirmed that bucket collections will take place at tomorrow’s match to help raise money for Dorset & Somerset Air Ambulance.

In total Worthing have played Yeovil eight times, winning one and drawing one; we have scored 11 goals and conceded 29.
Worthing’s only win in the fixture came on Boxing Day in 1995. Although the pitch was frozen, Yeovil’s manager, Graham Roberts, agreed to play but soon regretted it, as the Rebels won 3-2 with two goals from Steve Poulton and one from Sandy Brown.
