- Pattenden (60')
The fixture comes after a busy Easter period for the champions, playing twice in as many days on Good Friday and Easter Monday:
First, Worthing thrashed Carshalton by five goals to nil in their first game as league winners, before a short trip to the Camping World Community Stadium to face Horsham two days later:
Dajon Golding put the Reds 1-0 up inside the first ten minutes, but Aarran Racine’s dismissal after two bookable offences was followed by an equaliser from Lee Harding on the stroke of half time to draw the sides level at the break.
Horsham turned the game on its head with a goal from Lucas Rodriguez in the 65th minute, before a Charlie Harris strike three minutes from time ensured the Yellows of victory and denied Worthing the possibility of reaching 100 points going into the final game.
Meanwhile, visitors Brightlingsea secured their Isthmian Premier League status for the 2022/23 campaign with an impressive 3-0 at home to Haringey Borough, sitting safely in 18th place six points above the drop zone.
Recent meetings
The two sides met in the reverse league fixture in December of last year in Essex:
A brace from Ollie Pearce and a strike from Callum Kealy earned Worthing a comfortable 3-0 victory at a cold Taydal Stadium.
