Honours even on the opening day

You can’t beat watching football in the summer sunshine so while August gives us that it’s rude not to make the most of it. At the same time my two girls have a new found obsession with football, not started by the Lionesses win last Sunday at Wembley I must add, it began a little before then.

Now the cry is ‘when’s the next match’, so with that in mind it was a second trip to Woodside Road inside seven days to see Worthing take on Dover Athletic with added meaning.

Two null and void covid years denied the Rebels a place in the National League South, so they went out and completed it instead in a full season and finally took their place at Step 2, history to made coming against a side who have had a horrendous couple of years finally culminating in relegation from the National League.
