The league encounter ended in a 1-1 draw after a competitive 70 minutes of football plus added time, with both sides sharing the spoils in an evenly matched contest.

Worthing Dynamo lined up in a traditional 4-4-2 formation, deploying Archie Parker-Muckle in goal.

Up front, Lewis Langdell played as the right forward alongside left forward Theo Phillips. The substitutes named were Teddy Gill and Ellis Williams.

The match began with Worthing Dynamo asserting early pressure, and it was Theo Phillips who opened the scoring with a composed penalty in the 11th minute, giving the home side an early advantage. This goal set the tone for a lively first half, with Worthing looking to control the midfield and utilise their wide players to stretch the opposition.

Shortly after the goal, Worthing made their first substitution in the 17th minute, bringing on Teddy Gill to replace Rudy Clark on the left midfield. This change aimed to maintain the team’s attacking impetus down the left flank. At half time, Woody Mason was withdrawn in the 35th minute, with Rudy Clark returning to the right midfield position, signalling a tactical tweak before the break.

With Worthing holding their slender lead. At half-time, the teams regrouped and prepared for the second period, which promised to be a test of resilience and tactical adjustments.

Early in the second half, Worthing made a double substitution sequence. Ellis Williams came on for Theo Phillips at the 45th minute, only for Phillips to return to the field four minutes later, replacing Williams in the 49th minute. This unusual swap suggested a brief tactical experiment or a response to an injury concern.

However, the visitors responded swiftly after the restart, levelling the score in the 50th minute with a well-taken goal. Bognor Regis Town Youth U13 Red’s strike cancelled out Worthing’s earlier penalty, setting up a tense finale as both sides sought a winner.

Despite efforts from Worthing’s forwards and midfielders to regain the lead, the match ended 1-1. Bailey Freshwater’s performance at left back stood out throughout the game, earning him the player of the match accolade for his defensive solidity and contribution to both defensive and attacking phases.

In a tightly contested league fixture, Worthing Dynamo U13 Black and Bognor Regis Town Youth U13 Red shared the points, each demonstrating moments of quality and determination at Durrington High School.
