Worthing, Truro City , Eastbourne Borough , Dorking Wanderers and Torquay United in the race for a place in the National League South .

The Rebels are top of the table - although they have seen a four -point lead with a game in hand all-but wiped out thanks to successive losses against relegation-threatened Welling United and mid-table Hornchurch in the past few days .

Worthing manager Chris Agutter tells BBC Radio Sussex : "If we were to win all the six games, then we win the league".

Torquay co-chairman Michael Westcott tells BBC Sport it has been a year of drama for the club.

The club's rich league history and average crowds more than 1,500 higher than the next best side.

Westcott 's chance meeting with ex-Gulls manager Neil Warnock ended with the former Sheffield United , Crystal Palace , Middlesbrough boss, coming on board as an advisor.

Dorking Wanderers manager Marc White says the National League South is a "poor division".
