Worthing FC look forward to festive fixtures amid promotion push

Worthing FC head into the festive period in strong form, with manager Adam Hinshelwood saying players and staff are excited by the challenges ahead as the club continues its promotion push in the National League South.

The Rebels travel to Eastbourne Borough on Boxing Day before hosting Dorking Wanderers in the new year, with both matches expected to provide stern tests. Worthing have won nine of their last ten league games since Hinshelwood returned to the club in October, placing them firmly in contention near the top of the table.

Hinshelwood warned that focus and squad depth will be vital during the busy schedule, with injuries stretching resources in recent weeks. He said Eastbourne would be motivated in a derby despite their league position, while Dorking remain strong promotion rivals, making the upcoming fixtures an important measure of Worthing’s ambitions.
