High-scoring Worthing are preparing for the three away games which could shape their season.

The Roundstone Lane outfit enjoyed another big home win on Saturday, opening their London One campaign with a 40-0 rout of Thanet Wanderers.

That result followed two one-sided Powergen Cup ties and means they have scored 31 tries and conceded just one penalty in three games so far.

Ben Dudley and Terry Butler scored two tries apiece on Saturday with Rowan O'Gorman, Ben Coulson and Ben McGowan also crossing. Coulson added a conversion and a penalty.

Skipper Jody Levett said: "Of course I'm quite happy with it. We probably should have scored a couple more tries but we couldn't have asked for a better start to the league.

"We go to London Scottish in the league and the cup and Cambridge in the cup in the next three weeks. Those three games will give us a real indication as to where we are."

Centre Duncan Taylor did not get on the scoresheet but his creative work and lines of running made him man-of-the-match with scrum half Mike Imrie also outstanding.

McGowan's try rewarded some good support play and Levett hopes it will help his confidence levels even further after a decent start to the season.

The second row man is back from injury and has taken the position previously occupied by his brother Charlie, who is now at National Two outfit Bracknell.

Levett said: "Ben has been out for two years with shoulder injuries and he needed a bit of confidence.

"He did some good lineout stuff, his takes from the kick-offs were good and and he also got a try, so that's huge for us."
