04-MAY-2008: Youngsters complete season with 100% record

David O'Callaghan's superbly struck free-kick completed a tremendous turnaround for the Under 14s as they overcame a 2-0 deficit to defeat Fishersgate Flyers 3-2 to conclude their season with a fantastic 100% success rate in all competitions.
Full report...

Meanwhile, Zak Comber took his personal tally to 52 goals for the season as the Under 12s defeated Regis 2000 'A' in a hard fought encounter. During a fairly even first half Regis had 4 successive corners that saw Hornets' 'keeper Lewis Blaney make some fine saves but, just as it was beginning to look like it would be goalless at the break, Stanley Rice broke the deadlock. During the second half Regis came out raring to go and scored 2 goals within the first 10 minutes. Horsham weren't beaten yet though! Zak managed an equalizer and it was game on. Both teams then had chances but if fell to Horsham's prolific striker to have the final say when he notched the winner although, sadly, injury forced to watch the last minutes of the game on the sidelines.

02-MAY-2008: Youngsters finish second after defeat at Worthing

The Under 16s took the runners-up spot in the Arun & Chichester League after crashing 4-1 against title rivals Worthing United tonight. Having been awarded maximum points following Bognor's failure to fulfil Thursday's fixture, the Hornets stood 2 points ahead of tonight's opponents at the start of this championship decider. Sadly for Horsham, despite holding their hosts to a 1-1 draw at the break thanks to an effort from Patrick O'Sullivan, Worthing fired in 3 unanswered goals after the interval to take the title by just a single point. In spite of the result, the lads can be proud of their achievements in which they were never out of the top 4 all season and lost just twice in the league, both times against Worthing United.

01-MAY-2008: Youngsters left frustrated as opponents fail to show

Both the Under 14s and Under 16s were left kicking their heels tonight after their Arun & Chichester League fixtures were postponed. The Under 14s, fresh from Tuesday night's title winning victory against Adur Athletic, were awarded the points after Chichester City Colts were unable to field a side while the U16s' visit to Bognor Regis Town was cancelled due to a waterlogged pitch. Meanwhile, their home match with championship rivals Worthing United, postponed from Tuesday night, will now take place at Worthing Utd on Friday 2nd May, ko 6.30pm.
