Match Preview – Horsham (A) – Enterprise National League South

16 Mar 2026

City will look to build on Saturday’s battling comeback tomorrow evening when they make the long trip to West Sussex to face Horsham.

PREVIOUS MEETINGS

Before Horsham’s 2-0 win at Twerton last November, the clubs had only met once – an FA Trophy 3rd Qualifying Round tie in November 2018, played on a Sunday while Horsham were sharing at Lancing FC. In an entertaining tie which saw 16-year-old Harvey Wiles-Richards deputise in goal for the unwell Ryan Clarke, City took an early lead through Jack Batten. Horsham, then two levels below, levelled through a fabulous Charlie Harris free-kick, but an equally superb goal by Sean Rigg saw Jerry Gill’s side progress. They went on to lose at Barnet in the next round while Horsham won promotion to Isthmian Premier via the play-offs, where they remained before winning the title in April.

TRIVIA

  • Harvey Sparks and Jack Brivio, part of Horsham’s side for that meeting seven years ago, remain at the club. Lee Harding was an unused substitute and is still with the Hornets.
    Jack Batten, still at City, scored his first FA Trophy goal in that tie.
  • Tuesday’s fixture was originally scheduled for Saturday 31 January, which was postponed due to Horsham’s FA Trophy involvement.

FORM

  • Horsham have lost their last four in all competitions, failing to score in their last three league games.
  • Ahead of their first trip to the Fusion Aviation Community Stadium, Bath City ended a run of three straight defeats with a draw against high-flying Hornchurch on Saturday.
