Away to Rustington 2XI who are always a joy to play with an unchanged side and I won the toss! Electing to field first J.Stuart (1-14) made the early breakthrough in the second over. Greg Harris (3-30) then joined in in the fifth over. The batsmen then began to settle to pace a bit so I brought myself on (2-12) to take the pace off the ball and got J.Weaver (26) third ball in my spell LBW. J.Belton took (3-18), H.Reeves (0-24) and L.Hinton (1-27). Catches went to L.Hinton and J.Quintais x2...the first of Josh's was at slip diving to his right taking an awesome one handed catch! The Rustington innings finished 127 all out.
After tea we started well needing 128 to win and A.Bastable continued his good form from last week getting another fifty (59*), J.Quintais looked ok but was out LBW for five . Glenn Harris came in at three and scored a quick fire 20. This left N.Harris (36*) to finish the job with Bastable who batted well as a pair scoring freely to get us home in the 26th over to win by 8 wickets.
A very solid performance by Worthing with 3 wins out of 3 for the day!!! We regain the lead in the table with our 30 points, Horsham only managing 2 points in a draw with West Blatchington, who we play next week in another home away from home fixture at Fernhurst.
