Worthing’s 2024/25 regular league season concluded with an emphatic 5-1 victory on the road at Enfield Town there was still a chance for Worthing to finish at the summit of the National League South table while Enfield needed a point to guarantee their survival It was an evenly-contested opening 10 minutes with the condition of the pitch causing issues in possession for both sides Enfield top scorer Sam Youngs audaciously tried to chip the returning Chris Haigh after a mix-up at the back but the stopper dealt with the danger astutely Despite the score remaining goalless in north London the home faithful erupted on three separate occasions in the opening stages News had filtered around the Dave Bryant Stadium that league leaders Truro City had raced into 3-0 lead in Cornwall against St Albans – a score-line that would guarantee Enfield’s safety The contest devolved into a scrappy affair with neither side able to keep hold off the ball Nicky Wheeler registered Worthing’s first shot on target which was blocked by the outstretched foot of goalkeeper Joe Wright The winger cut inside before arrowing a shot towards the bottom corner but the opposition stopper was well positioned to push it out for a corner former Enfield man Mo Faal tried his luck from range although his driving effort swerved straight into the grasp of the ‘keeper Temi Babalola then headed into the back of the net only for referee Dan England to rule the goal out The official deemed that the striker had unfairly challenged Adam Thompson Wheeler delivered another dangerous corner towards the back post where Glen Rea was left in acres of space The midfielder effortlessly headed past Wright to give the visitors the advantage going into the interval A second goal in three games for our number 15 following his strike on Good Friday away to Eastbourne Borough the Rebels carried over their momentum from the first half and instantly searched for a second Jack Spong burst into the box before being tripped by Enfield skipper Mickey Parcell and the referee pointed to the spot without hesitation Spong assumed the responsibility of taking the pressured kick from 12 yards out The diminutive midfielder sent the goalkeeper the wrong way and coolly found the opposite corner to double the advantage Chris Agutter’s side extended their lead to three A raking pass from Sam Packham was delightfully cushioned into the path of Faal by the head of Spong The 6’5 forward composed himself before drilling a strike that arrowed into the bottom corner A fantastic finish against his former club Joel Colbran almost grabbed our fourth of the afternoon but inexplicably sent a header straight into Wright’s gloves from a few yards out Faal was in the mood for another in the capital and proceeded to produce a very late contender for ‘Goal of the Season’ Faal accurately volleyed in an unstoppable hit that flew over the head of the helpless Wright and nestled into the side-netting A goal that defies description and was eerily similar to his strike against Torquay earlier on in the campaign Worthing were four goals in front and in firm control Chris Haigh wasn’t able to preserve his clean sheet Billy Leonard broke clear down the right flank and crossed into the middle where Cian Dillon tapped in the consolation Henry Hawkins then hit the crossbar with a towering header before Liam Nash capped off a five-star display with a sensational 30-yard free-kick in second-half stoppage-time who was expecting the forward to cross into the middle by expertly bending an effort into the back of the net Dan England blew his whistle for the final time to signal the conclusion of a breathless affair Results around the rest of the league meant the Rebels finished the season in fourth position and only a solitary point off the summit A play-off eliminator fixture at home to Maidstone United awaits Chris Agutter and his players on Wednesday evening Sussex Transport Community Stadium Woodside Road Worthing West Sussex BN14 7HQ Gilbert Investments Limited & Barry Hunter Full-time: Chelmsford City 1-2 Enfield Town Chelmsford City fell to a narrow defeat to Enfield Town at the EMJ Community Stadium in the club’s penultimate home game of the 2024–25 campaign The Clarets’ afternoon started positively when Charlie Ruff put his side in front in the 28th minute Despite making a successful challenge on Archie Tamplin Towners goalkeeper Joe Wright paid the price for coming off his line to dispossess the midfielder as Ruff kept his cool to score while Wright watched on from behind Enfield responded well to going behind though and produced an impressive second half showing Midfielder Bayley Brown equalised in the 50th minute with a clinical finish across goal Jack Bates then put his side in front with 15 minutes to go when he broke through on goal and cleverly slotted the ball through Ted Collins’ legs and into the back of the net The hosts fielded the same starting XI that started last week’s 1–0 away win against Chippenham Town City’s matchday squad was strengthened by the returns of Jazzi Barnum-Bobb and Ryan Blackman to the substitutes’ bench The Clarets drew first blood when Ruff scored his 12th goal of the season in the 28th minute The goal stemmed from Tamplin’s run in-behind the Enfield backline which forced Towners goalkeeper Joe Wright to come off his line and make a clearance Wright’s clearance dropped to Kane Crichlow who squared the ball to Ruff inside the penalty area Ruff kept his composure despite being surrounded by three Enfield defenders and slotted the ball into the bottom corner of the net Enfield responded well to going behind but were unable to create a clear-cut chance in the final 15 minutes of the first period Clarets centre back Paul Appiah was particularly important in nullifying the Towners in front of goal making a number of crucial last-ditch interventions to prevent Enfield shots the City defence were unable to prevent Brown from equalising five minutes into the second half The towering midfielder produced a clinical finish after the ball dropped his way on the edge of the box Brown controlled the ball and fired a low shot across goal which found the bottom corner of Collins’ net Gavin Macpherson’s side had their tails up after drawing level and took the lead for the first time in the game 26 minutes after Brown’s leveller Bates capitalised on a City error at the back and was left one-on-one with Collins and went on to score after he slotted the ball through the goalkeeper’s legs and into the goal who were led on the day by assistant manager Mickey Spillane due to the absence of Robbie Simpson nearly found a way back into the game when Crichlow had the ball in the net in the 85th minute Appiah’s long-range effort took a deflection which fell invitingly to Crichlow who made no mistake and slotted the ball past Wright the assistant referee raised his flag and judged the Bermudian to have been offside prior to scoring Spillane used all five substitutes on the warm Saturday afternoon and handed a senior debut to academy player Jack Camina but the Clarets were unable to find an equaliser and came away from the game empty-handed The Clarets head across Essex to face already-relegated Aveley next week in what will be both clubs’ third-from-last game of the season Chelmsford City XI: Collins

– and only suffered two defeats since the turn of the year That form has seen Town move out of the bottom four at Welling United’s expense – with a fine 3-1 win at Chesham United on the weekend Gavin

Dave Bryant Stadium on Tuesday evening It was the home side who had the better of the first half with their set-pieces proving to be a real thorn in the visitors’ side throughout Rhys Lovett clawed away a Sam Youngs header before it was played back to Hisham Kasimu who turned a header over from close range Another deep Enfield corner was nodded over on 24 minutes before yet another troublesome set-piece very nearly resulted in an own-goal on the half-hour mark with a goal-line clearance  sparing Dave Winfield’s blushes some pinball in the box saw Winfield eventually having a shot well blocked in the box while Daniel Martin forced the keeper into a good save when he closed in on goal from the left the home side broke the deadlock – and it A corner delivered from left fell to to Youngs who finished to make it 1-0 Enfield going into half-time The Wings made a brighter start to the second half as they looked to find a leveller A penalty shout was turned down just before the hour mark when Dan Quick’s cross appeared to strike an Enfield arm low cross shortly after just evaded a red shirt just as it seemed as if Welling were building up a head of steam the hosts doubled their lead against the run of play It was an ex-Wings man who would do the damage as Anointed Chukwu got into the box to find the bottom left-hand corner who struggled to muster anything in terms of a comeback as they limped towards the final whistle Welling will go again on Saturday as they return to Park View Road to host Dorking Wanderers J Hearnden Skip Hire Community Stadium Park View Road

second corner for the hosts saw the ball flicked goalwards by Billy Leonard and Henry palmed it onto the crossbar Just after the quarter hour mark Harry Parsons and McClure combined to find Luke Spokes whose effort was blocked Lennon Peake then ran on to a long ball but miss-kicked his shot wide Midway through the half Alex Bray’s cross was only cleared as far as Spokes but again his shot was rebuffed by the London side’s defence A further Bray cross found the head of Jake Evans but keeper Joe Wright comfortably saved Before the break Wright had to be alert to tip a long Tyreke Johnson throw behind After the interval Peake fired a free kick wide whilst Jack Bates’ shot was way off target An Enfield corner on fifty four minutes then saw Henry make a fine double save Just after the hour mark Spokes pulled the ball back to Parsons but his shot was saved by Wright On sixty three minutes Enfield’s Youngs was booked for simulation in the area as the home side claimed a penalty after he collided with Freddie Grant Midway though the half Leonard’s cross was met by Bates but his effort was off-target Nine minutes from time an Enfield free kick saw several players in the net and claims for a goal and a handball both fail as Chippenham cleared their lines Bates then hit another effort very wide whilst in stoppage time a Spokes free kick was headed over by the home defence From the resulting corner the ball eventually landed at Caine Bradbury’s feet but his curling shot was superbly kept out by Wright Matt McClure (Aaron Amadi-Holloway 88) subs not used: Tom Mehew Enfield Town have released details in relation to tickets for our meeting at the Dave Bryant Stadium on the final day of the season The result of the match could have a major say in the outcome at both ends of the table with the Reds hopeful of going into the last day still in a good position to claim the title while there’s every chance Town will still need points to avoid relegation The club has been informed that for safety reasons the fixture will be segregated Due to a delay in the completion of the new main stand at the Dave Bryant Stadium ongoing building works create a potential safety issue

Chelmsford City suffered a late defeat to Enfield Town at the Dave Bryant Stadium in their first away trip of 2025 Sam Youngs scored both the hosts’ goals and the latter of Youngs’ brace cancelled out Cameron James’ 89th minute equaliser Robbie Simpson introduced new signing Harry Barbrook from the beginning with the Ipswich Town loanee taking the place of the injured Sam Oguntayo at left back Kalvin Kalala was handed his first National League South start since November while recent arrival Finley Wilkinson was one of five named on the substitutes bench The opening 45 minutes of the game were largely uneventful with both teams struggling to carve out clear opportunities Enfield Town had the first real chance of the game in the 14th minute when forward Jake Hutchinson connected with a cross from the right but his effort hit the post and rebounded to safety had decent spells of possession as the half progressed but struggled to discover the cutting edge needed to break down the Towners’ defence The second half was more of an open contest with both teams having goalscoring opportunities Chelmsford City came close to taking the lead in the 63rd minute when goalkeeper Rhys Forster spilled a long-range shot from Ruaridh Donaldson who was introduced as a 54th minute substitute but his follow-up effort went behind for a goal kick this time squaring the ball to fellow substitute Glenn McConnell whose powerful shot was well saved by Forster Gavin Macpherson’s side began to grow into the game during the final 20 minutes and increased the pressure on City’s backline Towners substitute Amaru Kanuda fired a warning shot when he turned inside the box and forced City goalkeeper Ted Collins into a smart save The hosts made their increasing pressure count when they broke the deadlock in the 83rd minute The Clarets failed to clear Billy Leonard’s cross from the right flank and the ball dropped to Youngs at the back post who made no mistake from point-blank range to give Enfield the lead City responded in the 89th minute when McConnell’s corner from the left was clinically guided into the net by James who used his chest to direct the ball into the goal and level the score to make it 1-1 but City’s recent unbeaten run was ended in the fifth minute of injury time Lennon Peake’s wide free kick found the unmarked Youngs inside the penalty area who rose highest to head home the winner and complete his brace leaving Chelmsford City with nothing to show from their trip to North London The defeat leaves the Clarets with work to do ahead of next weekend’s away trip to Bath City Enfield Town XI: Forster (GK); Parcell (C) Chelmsford City XI: Collins (GK); Barnum-Bobb (James 75′) Donaldson (Bland 87′); Crichlow (Williams 69′) Chelmsford City FC © 2025 It looks like you haven't added any items to your cart yet Worthing travel to the Dave Bryant Stadium on the final day of the National League South season still with a chance of winning the title The Reds are one of six clubs with a chance of coming out on top of what has been a truly remarkable title race First things first they must beat the Towners then hope the three teams currently above them in the table – Truro City Torquay United and Eastbourne Borough – fail to win their respective matches meaning the Reds could finish the day in any position between 1st and 6th If they can’t win the title then finishing second or third means a direct route to a home play-off semi final while anything below that would mean facing a play-off eliminator Enfield are enjoying their first ever season at step 2 after winning the Isthmian League Premier Division play-offs last season They’ve spent the majority of the season in the bottom four but an upturn in form in the last quarter of the campaign has seen them head into the final day in a position to avoid the drop With just one relegation place left to be confirmed with Salisbury only above them courtesy of a slightly better goal difference Town are three points better off in 19th but with a significantly worse goal difference than their rivals they risk dropping into the drop zone should they lose and the other two both win Experienced midfield Sam Youngs has undoubtedly been the standout performer for Town this season The 34-year-old has hit 17 goals in National League South despite his team’s struggles Easter Monday’s 4-1 loss at Boreham Wood was their first defeat in eight league games including a dramatic victory over title challengers Truro City when two goals in stoppage time saw them come from 2-1 down to win 3-2 A single Joel Colbran strike was enough for the Reds to shade the reverse fixture at Woodside Road a few days before Christmas last year The last meeting in north London came in October 2021 when on the way to promotion from Isthmian League Premier Division the Reds drew 2-2 – goals by Jasper Pattenden and Reece Meekums had them in front but a strike 20 minutes from time by current Rebel Mo Faal Supporters will be segregated inside the stadium with the club given an allocation of 700 tickets – as of writing there are a handful of away tickets still available therefore any supporters

Chris Agutter has his defensive options limited owning to the suspensions of Aarran Racine and Sam Beard Racine begins a ban following his straight red card at Eastbourne Borough on Good Friday while Beard picked up his 15th booking of the campaign against Dorking Wanderers This prompted Agutter to recall Ollie Black from his loan spell at Hastings United The 27-year-old could make his first

Moments before the half-time whistle, at a time when a goal seemed most unlikely, Joel Colbran slammed home Nicky Wheeler’s superb snaking, curling cross to settle the contest. An afternoon that ebbed more than it flowed, the recent run of late heartbreaks at home was nonetheless over. As maximum points returned to the Reds in this tight, tetchy festive fixture. Last Saturday’s deflating late leveller at the hands of similarly-placed opposition was undeniably numbing for Chris Agutter. His incandescence on the touchline was plain. He opted for two changes here: Glen Rea and debutant centre-half Joe Partington in for Kane Wills and Alfie Young respectively. So, there wasn’t too much in terms of rotation going forward – Tommy Willard still an absentee with a lingering knock, as Temi Babalola and Mo Faal continued to lead the line in tandem. A brief word on the visitors: this is a genuinely proficient and powerful side. The attacking blend of Marcus Wyllie and Sam Youngs was imperious last season – 54 league goals combined will likely send you up – but as the former departed for Gillingham in the summer, the challenge of staying afloat in a league above will always be stern. Ultimately, there just wasn’t enough penetration in attack. Here, though, they were a fortified unit: tough to break down, and a handful when they showed some belief. The pattern was akin to the St Albans clash seven days prior: welcoming a side already battling for every point, holding onto a 1-0 lead for much of the match. Only this time were the Reds able to make sure of the points. The game began with a hesitancy. It took the Reds around 17 minutes to string more than a few passes together in the opposing half, and a further 30 minutes to register their first shot of the afternoon. The Towners had journeyed down with a gameplan to remain in the game for as long as possible, and look to countercharge when time ticked on. But then again the past two weekends here have spotlighted the discipline and desire of sides hailing from below. In both the FA Trophy defeat-turned-victory and last weekend’s frustration, Worthing had led for large swathes of both yet conceded as they waited for the final whistle to spare them. There was a slight restlessness amongst the stands as time dwindled in docile fashion towards the pause. There was just very little going on. This is fine, so long as something happens eventually. It wasn’t necessarily for a lack of drive; more a panoply of over-hit, under-hit and miss-hit passes. Enfield tentatively crept from their cave as the referee began to glance at his watch, sensing the break. But whenever the visitors would slightly commit men forward, Worthing were at least able to craft a few passing moves together, and shift further up the pitch. Now, it hadn’t been coming – neither side had even hit the ball towards the direction of the goal – but the opener did arrive. And a fine move it was, too. Sometimes, you just need a moment of quality. It only took a few seconds for Nicky Wheeler to look up, spot the run of captain Joel Colbran racing in at the back post, and find him with an exquisite cross that was duly volleyed home. 1-0. There’s your game. Thanks for coming. The second chapter commenced, the wind calmed down, the Worthing noise rose and grew, and Enfield Town found a higher gear. There was an urgency and slickness yet to be seen, and it placed the pressure on a Worthing defence that spent much of the opening half ball watching. Agutter reacted. Wills on for Faal – he just hadn’t secured the service. Wills was on to sure up the midfield, to keep things in check. Rea sighted a second from distance but Rhys Kenneth Foster clung on. He hadn’t made a save until the 61st minute, and he’d make three by the 62nd minute. Jack Spong glided into the box as if skating on silk, struck with his left but the ‘keeper was down low to his right to prevent the second. Babalola is gifted the ball yards out, but the guarder of the goal flings out a magnificent hand. Not that the referee credited him as a goal kick was the decision. Now the game had zapped into life. Now Worthing were spurning vital chances. Now the frustration began to bubble. Tejon Brown forced Chris Haigh into an awkward save from a tight angle, as the pendulum swung to and fro. That cherished second goal, Worthing’s recent kryptonite, still eluded them as the game reached its denouement. Harrison Smith was on now, slapping the palms of Babalola in a straight swap up top. He would scrap for every ball, and do exactly as was asked of him. But beneath him on the pitch was where it truly mattered. Could the red shirts hold on? They didn’t have to try too hard. For all their endeavour, they never really brought Haigh into the match. Recent weeks have proved that a 1-0 goal lead is rarely enough in this division but, in truth, Enfield never looked like a side that would find the net. And that’s where this game was won: with a lone goal minutes before the break. They don’t call it a good time to score for nothing, And so it’s a win to take into Christmas. Worthing curtailed the year at home with a victory, and kept pace with the pack. There’s a whole lot more quality still to be seen from this side, but as the festivities begin and the corks are popped, there’s plenty of reason to be merry. © 2025 Worthing Football Club Ltd.

Ten-man Welling United made it two wins from two as they beat Enfield Town 1-0 at Park View Road on Tuesday evening. Daniel Martin’s first-half freak goal from a corner which flew straight in proved to be the difference on an evening which saw Martell Taylor-Crossdale miss a penalty and Alex Lankshear sent off. All in all, the Wings’ determination and effort saw them through to secure three deserved points. The home side took control of the first half and enjoyed the first effort of the evening courtesy of Anointed Chukwu, who stung the palms of Rhys Forster, with the visiting stopper pushing it over the bar. Shortly after, Elliot Long saw a decent shot well blocked in the box and the Wings took the lead from the resulting corner on 26 minutes. Daniel Martin, potentially spotting a gap at the near post, drove his corner delivery low from the right with the ball making its way straight into the net to put the hosts deservedly in front. It had been all Welling in the first 45 and they had the chance to double their advantage going into the break when they were awarded a penalty in injury time. Alex Lankshear was felled in the box for what would be Welling’s first spot-kick of the season. Martell Taylor-Crossdale stepped up, but his standing foot gave way underneath him causing him to slip and scoop his shot off the right-hand upright. The Wings maintained control after the break with Long coming close with a deflected effort wide from Kwaku Donkor’s cross, but their dominance would be compromised just prior to the hour mark when Lankshear was given his marching orders. Having been booked minutes earlier for a foul, he was pulled up for what looked like a good, hard sliding tackle in front of the home dugout which the referee deemed a foul and a second-bookable offence, leaving the home side down to 10 men. It then became a case of Welling having to professionally manage their lead and they did well to continue to keep Enfield at bay, limiting them in the final third until the 80th minute when Rhys Lovett got down brilliantly to keep out Sam Youngs’ glancing header. In the dying minutes, the Wings had the chance to seal it when TJ Bramble broke forward, squaring for debutant Josh Redfearn in a great position in the box. But with the ball getting caught under his feet, his initial effort was saved, before his follow-up was cleared off the line. At the other end, Lovett was only bothered once more by a free-kick from distance and the Wings continued to defend determinedly to earn their three points.
