The Woodside Road win puts Adam Hinshelwood’s men into the semi-finals – one game away from a return to the Amex final, with a determination to go one better than last year when they lost the showpiece game to Brighton U23s.
Crowborough, who play three divisions below Worthing, led 2-0 after 49 minutes but Ibby Akanbi pulled one back on 54 minutes then Ollie Pearce and Joel Colbran pounced to give the Reds a 3-2 lead.
In a remarkable last ten minutes Akanbi added another three to make sure of Worthing’s progress – and lift their spirits after their 5-4 loss at home to St Albans last Saturday.
Woodside Road fans have seen 17 goals in four days – ten by Worthing, seven against.
