Worthing United pay tribute to their two footballers who died in last month's Shoreham air crash in the club's first game since the tragedy.

Worthing United have paid tribute to two of their footballers who died in the Shoreham Airshow plane crash last month.

Matthew Grimstone and Jacob Schilt were among 11 people who passed away when a Hawker Hunter plane plummeted onto the A27.

The aircraft failed to complete a loop during a performance at the Airshow, resulting in it crashing on the motorway.

On Sunday, Worthing players wore black armbands and observed a minute's silence before their FA Vase qualifier against East Preston, which was their first match since the crash.

More than 1,000 people turned up to watch the team, who wore 'In memory of Matt and Jacob #together' T-shirts, win 2-1.

"I still haven't come to terms with what happened," the Daily Star quotes team captain Jack Hayward as saying. "It's just so tragic and difficult to comprehend how two lads on their way to play football could be taken from us like this."

During the match, youth players collected donations from the crowd for a memorial.
