TRICKY NICKY LIFTS ANGELS

ANGELS deserved the points and should have won the game more comfortably.

The home side were in charge through most of the first half with a decent chance for Alex Akrofi as early as the fifth minute whose header went just over. Further chances for the home side came for Dan Thompson, who forced a good save from keeper Kieron Thorp, and a minute later Mitchell Nelson saw his header cleared off the line by Will Hendon.

Tonbridge opened the scoring in the 13th minute when the away defence failed to clear a Liam Smith cross and Nicky Wheeler was on hand to rifle past Thorp. The Angels were further ahead in the 23rd minute after Thompson’s clever flick put Luke Blewden clear to round Thorp.

Worthing were handed a way back after a dreadful mixup between Sonny Miles and keeper Jonny Henly with Worthing’s Ben Pope able to walk the ball into an empty net in the 28th minute.

The second period saw the visitors come into the game with a terrific chance for Lloyd Dawes on 76 minutes but Henly was equal to the task, blocking the shot with no Worthing player able to take advantage of the rebound.
