Worthing boss Adam Hinshelwood looked ahead to a punishing schedule of four games in eight days and declared: It’s down to the successful season we’ve had – so bring it on.

Some at Worthing are disgruntled at being made to play their Sussex Senior Cup semi-final with Hastings next Wednesday – 24 hours after they go to Cheshunt for a rearranged National South game – but you won’t hear Hinshelwood moaning about it.

Instead he will use his whole squad across the two matches and remind his players how well they have done this term – and how much they still have to play for.

A happy Hinshelwood was speaking after the Reds took two big steps towards securing a National South play-off spot with a 2-1 home win over Braintree on Satuday and a 1-0 success at Farnborough on Tuesday.

The six points leave Worthing needing to win only one of theif final three to make sure of a play-off berth. But they will want to finish fifth to secure a home tie in the first stage of the play-offs.

Goals by Josh Chambers and Reece Meekums earned Saturday’s win after Braintree had scored first, while Ollie Pearce’s early goal was followed by a superb defensive effort for the midweek win.
