| WORTHING & HORSHAM DISTRICT SUNDAY LEAGUE |
THE LEAGUE BEGAN LIFE IN JULY 1973 WHEN THREE MEN;STUART BRUNDETT, HAROLD COBBY & DAVE BIRCH, GOT TOGETHER AT THE CASTLE HOTEL IN BRAMBER TO DISCUSS STARTING A LEAGUE. FOLLOWING THIS THE STEYNING & DISTRICT SUNDAY LEAGUE STARTED WITH NINE CLUBS. THE LEAGUES HEADQUARTERS WERE AT THE CASTLE HOTEL, THEN MOVING TO THE NORFOLK ARMS IN STEYNING BEFORE MOVING TO STEYNING TOWN F.C IN 1981. THE LEAGUE REMAINED THERE FOR MANY SEASONS UNTIL 1994 WHEN THE LEAGUE BASED ITSELF AT THE EMPIRE CLUB IN LANCING. ALSO THE LEAGUE CHANGED ITS NAME TO THE WORTHING & HORSHAM DISTRICT SUNDAY LEAGUE IN THIS YEAR AS WELL TO REFLECT THE LEAGUES GEOGRAPHICAL LOCATION. THE SEASON 2001/02 SAW THE LEAGUE MOVE AGAIN TO ITS PRESENT HEADQUARTERS; BROADBRIDGE HEATH VILLAGE CENTRE IN HORSHAM.
THE LEAGUE HAS CONTINUED TO OPERATE WITH ABOUT 50 TEAMS EACH SEASON, A FACT WE ARE PROUD OF CONSIDERING A LOT OF LEAGUES AROUND US A SUFFERING A REDUCTION IN NUMBERS.THE SEASON 2001/02 SAW THE LEAGUE PRODUCE ITS FIRST COUNTY CUP WINNER WHEN LANCING EMPIRE REACHED THE FINAL & WON THIS TROPHY. THEY WENT ON TO REPEAT THE SUCCESS THE FOLLOWING SEASON WHEN THEY BEAT ANOTHER OF OUR TEAMS; AJAX KINGS ARMS FROM BILLINGSHURST. FURTHER SUCCESS IN THIS COMPETITION CAME IN SEASON 2005/06 WHEN AC AZZURRI WON THE TROPHY AT EAST PRESTON F.C
