The first week of National League football is complete and what a brilliant opening week it was! This week was jam packed with goals, drama and upset’s that set up an excellent 2026/2027 season.

After 284 Worthing fans made the 361-mile-long journey up to Brunton Park they were rewarded with an astounding Worthing victory in their first ever game in the National League.

Brad Dolaghan came up through Worthing’s under 18s squad in 2023 and was a key player for the Rebels first team in their National League South success last season. Today he signs for fellow National League side Harrogate Town for an undisclosed fee which is a killer blow for the Rebels just under 72 hours before kick-off in Carlisle.

Chorley FC win this week’s game of the week after a resounding 4-2 win over Manchester Cities under 21s on Friday night.
