Worthing went to Lewes to face Sussex Downs in the Second round of the Men’s BCS cup, and came back being able to tell the happy side to an eventful match.
Worthing went 2-0 down early on but showed good resolve and hit back instantaneously with the score swaying 3-2 to the visitors.
With plenty more twists in the tail, the home side hit back to level the scores before taking a 4-3 lead. Worthing equalised to make it 4-4 and were once again the ones to go into the lead with not long left on the clock. But the home side were resilient and with 4 minutes remaining Sussex Downs scored to make it 5-5. In the last few minutes Worthing had plenty of chances to put the game to bed but after a goal fest, they were all of a sudden struggling to find that winning goal.
Worthing went on to win 4-3 in penalty flicks, and the match which had a real cup tie feel was awarded the way of the visiting team, one of those that both sides would have been gutted to lose.
On reflection, Worthing were the better team, they played well and deserved the eventual victory which took longer than any of us would have hoped.
May the cup run continue!!
