Heath were missing several regular faces through injury and holidays but welcomed new signing Tiago Andrade straight into the starting line up.
Conditions under foot at Worthing Utd were difficult for both sets of players, The first half was mainly played out in the hosts half but only a single goal separated the sides at the break after Tiago Andrade headed a Callum Saunders free kick goal wards and Max Miller was able to stab the ball in from close range.

After the break Heath continued to be wasteful firing over on several occasions and Max Miller seeing his header come off the bar. The missed chances almost came back to haunt Heath as a Worthing free kick cannoned off the top of the bar and then Nathan Cooper made an incredible goal line clearance from under his own bar with 10 minutes to play.
Heath then saw the game out for another clean sheet (13th and club record) and three points on the road.
