Green looked dangerous on the break as Kim Hughes and Emma Chrimes worked tirelessly up front.

An unstoppable free kick made it 2-0 but Green rallied late in the half and came out after the break in confident mood. Camilla Chapman was impressive at right back and with ever-presents Donna Cox and Lizzie Neatherway busy in midfield, it looked hopeful until Green were rocked back by a third goal. The soft fourth then came late on.

A penalty save two minutes from time denied Haywards Heath 2nds a draw with leaders Worthing after captain Sian Ford-Hunt superbly fired them ahead on 27 minutes. And it could have been 2-0 three minutes later as Lou Creasey hit a post and a close range follow-up effort by PoM Jinny Ursell was somehow cleared off the line.

Worthing struck twice after the break.
