The champagne is on ice and all set for a promotion party at Gorings Mead on Saturday.

Horsham all-but clinched the Premier Division title on Tuesday night as they moved to within a point of mathematically sealing the crown at the first attempt.

But even if they lose their remaining two games. Eastbourne Town would have to win both and turn around a 29-goal swing.

The champions are elect.

A 3-0 midweek win at lowly Hailsham Town - the side they face a return clash with on Saturday - all but clinched it.

That was after victory from a tough encounter at Eastbourne United on Saturday put them to within four points of a return to the Ryman League.

A sentence that will be joyous to read to the Horsham faithful after a difficult last campaign.

It’s been a season to savour - arguably the first since the days of John Maggs - after two relegations in the previous four seasons as they dropped from the Ryman Premier.
