Eastbourne Borough well beaten, Worthing claim point as Sussex non-league teams kick off 2023

There was National League South action today (New Year’s Day) as Worthing went to Hampton and Richmond, who they beat 4-3 on Boxing Day, and Eastbourne Borough hosted Havant, who they defeated 2-1 last week.

Worthing claimed a point in south west London, the match ending 0-0 to leave Worthing in sixth place with 40 points.

But Borough were well beaten at home to Havant – conceding three goals in seven minutes midway through the first half and having only a later Charlie Walker to show for their efforts as they lost 3-1. Danny Bloor’s team fall to seventh as a result.

We’ll have more here from both games later.

Bank holiday Monday brings a busy programme of Isthmian League and SCFL action.

Here’s the highlights of Monday’s fixture list – and again we will bring you news of those games on this website as the action unfolds.

With more rain forecast and pitches already wet from a lot of rain over the past few days, it’s worth checking with host clubs’ social media channels on the day if you’re planning to attend any matches.
