Worthing Clips Yates, 2-0. BOTTOM, RIGHT: The defensive team that held Yates to a grand total of 51 yards en route to a 2-O victory. The two points came in the opening minutes of the game as the football sailed over the punter's head into the endzone where the punter was tackled for a safety, the only points of the game. The game did have an exciting moment, a 75 yard pass-and-run scoring play from Gillespie to Lewis was called back because the COLTS were penalized for being off-side on the play.
