Victory at Meadowbank, coupled with a late equaliser for Hornchurch against nearest challengers, Haringey Borough saw the hosts claim The Bostik League Premier Division Championship, against a well-beaten Reds.
Worthing eased to a comfortable win over a shot-shy Hornchurch, who were only prevented from suffering a heavier defeat by a Man of the Match performance from goalie, Callum Chafer.

Ollie Pearce led the scoring, on an extraordinary afternoon at The Bibby Financial Services Stadium, in an incredible 9-1 rout of Harlow Town.
