They overcame the London South East 4 champions with all the tries shared around and played under the captaincy of Charlie McGowan in the absence of Jody Levett.

McGowan, Rick Reeves, Matt Farnes, Ben Coulson and Phil Williams scored with Coulson adding four conversions from four kicks.

In the final at Horsham on April 22, Worthing will face either Haywards Heath or Lewes, who met on Sunday.

The same day, at the same venue, kicking off earlier, Worthing 2nd XV will be in the Sussex Bowl Final (for 2nd and 3rd XVs) after they beat fellow Sussex Reserve League team Chichester 2nds 60-7 in their semi-final on Saturday at Roundstone Lane. They will face Bognor 2nd or Haywards Heath 2nd.

More details in the Herald on Thursday, including about Worthing's penultimate London 1 league match, at home to Haywards Heath.
