[Football] Sussex Senior Cup Final - Worthing v Bognor Regis Town

“17 year old keeper wins cup”

He isn't even very good. Worthing had little choice tbf and had to play him.

Bognor pushed Worthing all the way, Worthing also got lucky with the off the bar penalty. Entertaining game and there looked more like 4000. Bognor won the singing too. Hinsh looked more like Butters than Butters does.

It was a good atmosphere, I thought Bognor played very well and hit the bar, however Worthing did have a disallowed goal for offside and a penalty shout (which from my view looked like it would be given).
Nevertheless, Worthing would win 8-7 after saving a pretty bad shot, Bognor could've won it at 4-4 but missed the decisive penalty (over the bar), reminding me of March's attempt.

Incredible attendance? What's it normally? How much was admission?

Admission was 10 in advance 15 on day for adults

Adult tickets were £12 in advance

I thought he did pretty well … he’s 17!

it was his first team debut for Worthing - and in a cup final - and kept a clean sheet!

Worthing had a couple of great shouts for pens towards the end. Ref was way off the pace and too far away from the action all the time.

were you sat next to Bognor fans? I was say fairly central - in Worthing section - and barely heard Bognor. Whereas Worthing were pretty loud most of the game!

Now hope Worthing can keep squad together. Assume some will fancy a go at higher level

I was sat next to a number from the Worthing Women’s team and right next to their assistant coach. I mentioned rumours of Harrison Male leaving but she seemed to think he might be staying … which would be great news.

I think the young CB Joe Rye has a future at a higher level - but he’s only 19 and will hopefully stick around for a bit longer.

Worthing have been a pathway side for a while now, several players have gone on to higher levels including a few to the EFL. I think good, young(ish) players are happy to sign for Worthing, knowing that the club will develop them in the right way, and possibly open the door to the professional game for them.

On the live stream I don't think I heard much more than a peep from Bognors fans, there weren't many of them to be fair. The Worthing fans were very impressive, seemed to keep going for the entire game and made lots of noise, much like they always do.

Anyone have an idea as to why the younger Worthing fans in the North West corner took their trainers off and waved them around mid way through the 2nd half ?

I thought Worthing had one good shout for a pen, but so did Bognor, yes the ref was off the pace so was the bald lino. The ref could have given out another two yellows to Worthing players I thought. I have heard he is a Worthing fan?
I sat central Bognor and could not hear Worthing fans hardly at all but Bognor were loud longer than the Northstand stamina wise, if you asked me. It made me question why can't the Northstand singers go this long anymore at Home. Too many oldies?

Live stream must have been miked up in the North end then? Nice and loud from the green army at the South end.

Yeah I thought the Bognor fans generated some noise, and that kept going throughout the match, I heard Worthing fans also (at parts) but I was situated in the Bognor end so that may be why.

What minute was there a Bognor penalty shout (because I can't remember one)? However do agree that Worthing could've got one or two more yellows.

My sources suggest neither will be with them next season

One such player, Kwame Poku, playing for Peterborough United against Sheffield Wednesday this evening.

Every Worthing match I’ve been to they do this “shoes off if you Love Worthing”

What criticism is Matt referring to?
