Could Worthing FC’s blank weekend aid push for league and cup glory?

Although the Rebels boss was frutrated last weekend’s National South visit to Farnborough was rained off, he believes the extra rest time between games may work in their favour as they enter a hectic three weeks of action.

Worthing have six league games to play and their Sussex Senior Cup semi-final between now and Saturday, April 29 – which means seven matches in 23 days.

That packed programme starts with tomorrow’s home clash with Concord (3pm) and Easter Monday’s visit to Cheshunt.

One player happy to see last weekend’s game postponed was striker Ollie Pearce, who is recovering from a broken toe and may even be fit to play tomorrow.

Hinshelwood said: “It was frustrating but the weather’s one thing we can’t affect, and we’ll concentrate on the things we can.

"It’s given us this week to have two good training sessions ahead of the Easter period, which is going to be vital and which could shake up a lot of issues in the league.

"If we can pick up points against Concord and Cheshunt, we’ll be in a great position for the final four games. And the players deserve credit for getting us to this stage of the season with so much to play for.

"We have a lot of fixtures to play in the next three weeks, which may not be ideal but we’ll use the squad and manage it as well as we can. It should be an exciting time.”

Hinshelwood said he’d love to see an even bigger crowd in Woodside Road tomorrow than the 1,648 who watched them win at home to Havant.

"The fans have been brilliant all season, and have been there in huge numbers, and we know they’ll be with us in these final few games,” he said.

The postponed visit to Farnborough looks set to be rearranged for Tuesday, April 18, with the SSC semi-final at Culver Road seven nights later – before the regular season ends at home to Hemel Hempstead on Saturday, April 29.
