23.7.11 - 1st XI v Ifield

Another victory after the previous week's wash out for the side as they moved 84 points ahead of third position, albeit with Haywards Heath having a game in hand.

Heavy rain throughout the week meant that the groundsman had little opportunity to get onto the square but a good, if slow wicket greeted both teams. Worthing won the toss and inserted their visitors.

Accurate bowling and good fielding made runs hard to come by for struggling Ifield with Luke Vinter taking 4 for 43 from 17 unchanged overs and Andy Lutwyche 5 for 57. Benn Challen picked up the other wicket with 1 for 6 off 4 overs as Ifield crawled to 142 all out.

Worthing made heavy weather of their reply but achieved their target with six wickets down as Darryl Rebbetts (41*) and John Kaye (17*) saw them over the line. Contributions came from Dominic Clapp (34), Michael Gould (16) and Challen (21).

A free week next week but Worthing will still be well clear of the field at the top of the table.
