Bracknell RFC 1st XV head into their final fixture of the 2025/26 campaign with a tough away trip to Worthing, looking to finish the season on a high in what has been a competitive Regional 1 South Central campaign.
Heading into the final round, Bracknell currently sit 7th in the table with 59 points. Worthing, meanwhile, are positioned 8th on 56 points.
With only one round remaining, Bracknell have already secured a place at level 5 for next season, but a win could still see them apply pressure on the teams above and potentially climb higher depending on results elsewhere. Worthing, on the other hand, will be eager to close the gap and finish their season strongly on home soil.
Bracknell’s form across the season has been mixed but competitive, with Worthing taking the win at Lily Hill Park in the first game of the season, Bracknell will want the away win in the final game.
Worthing have proven capable throughout the campaign, sitting comfortably mid-table and picking up enough results to avoid relegation pressure. Earlier in the season, they edged Bracknell in a tight 29–27 victory, showing how little separates the two sides .
Expect a physical battle upfront: Both sides are evenly matched in the pack, and control at the breakdown could be decisive. The scoreboard will be tight, the earlier meeting was decided by just two points—another close encounter looks likely.
Final game of the season—expect both teams to play with freedom but also intensity.
The Stakes
For Bracknell, it’s about finishing a solid season strongly and potentially pushing up from 7th. For Worthing, it’s a chance to sign off in front of their home support with a statement result.
Given league position and overall consistency, Bracknell may go in as slight favourites—but with the previous result in mind and home advantage for Worthing, this one feels too close to call.
