The first eleven got a draw against 9th placed Bexhill at the MCG, just failing to bowl out the opposition in what would have been a precious win. Worthing stay seventh in the table having been put into bat by the visitors. Andy Reid hit 75 and Brad James 31 in an opening stand of 117. Stuart Carter also hit 25 as Bexhill bowled a series of javelins in a bid to restrict scoring rather than bowl Worthing out as the home side notched up 205 for 8.
Bexhill's batting relies heavily on two players and once they were out a draw was the only thing on their minds as they stonewalled just 159 for 8with Benn Challen taking 4 for 42 and Mason Crane 3 for 49 as they proved that there was spin in the pitch. Andy Lutwyche took the other wicket.
The second eleven got a vital win to take them out of the relegation places at Three Bridges.The home side hit 272 for 5 with Martyn Swift taking 2 for 37, Shane Felton, Harry Dunn and Gareth Challen all taking a wicket a-piece. Worthing reached their target having lost 6 wickets, with Alex Harris hitting 112, ably supported by Justin Watts (37) and Tim Lund (42).
The third eleven lost at Barns Green and sit just above the relegation places. The hosts got 22 all out with the spin of Sanjeev Kalra (3 for 50) and Adam Squires (3 for 41) the main threat. Kevin Punter took 2 wickets, Joe Westlake and Greg Harris a wicket each. It was the batting that let the side down as they were bowled out for 186 having had a good opening stand of 99 between Lloyd Crathern (38) and Tom Chambers (40).
The fourth eleven drew against Goring 3rds at the Manor. Goring batted first and notched up 228 for 2 with Dave Leader taking both wickets for 23 runs. Worthing ended on 191 for 9 in what can only be described as a nailbiter as Jamie Piper and Jack Westlake kept out the goring bowlers at the end. Adam Bastable hit 85 in the stand out innings for the home side.
Availability meant that the 5th team scratched.

U16s v Arundel - 1.7.12
Arundel (93 for 6 off 25 overs)
lost to Worthing (94 for 3) by 7 wickets (off 18.2 overs)
A sharp early morning shower (you were up before me then - Ed) made
it a good toss to win and an easy decision for Worthing’s captain, Martyn
Swift, putting Arundel into bat on a damp wicket. Opening bowler, Nick Ballamy
took full advantage of the difficult conditions taking 3 wickets for just 8
runs in his 5 over spell. Arundel’s Ben Roberts, hit back with some powerful
hitting scoring 21 including 4 fours and after his departure, Sam Temple contributed
with a well-judged innings of 26 not out, providing the mainstay of the
innings. However, Worthing’s bowlers
stuck to their task as Jamie Packer, Jamie Piper, Harry Dunn and Sam Brice all
bowled tight lines, the latter three taking a wicket apiece. 93 under the
circumstances was a reasonable total but unlikely to be enough on a drying
wicket.
By the time Worthing’s innings
began, the mid-morning sun had made batting conditions more benign as opener’s
Michael Askew and Harry Dunn set about chasing down the total. Despite some good
bowling by opening pair Keelan Shoulders and Spencer Morris, neither Michael
nor Harry offered much in the way of chances as both posted retirement scores
on their way to an opening stand of 70. With Worthing in touching distance of
the target, three wickets in three overs, including a fine caught and bowled by Temple, made for a flurry of excitement but Worthing were all but there and
it was left to Robbie Anderson to hit the winning runs in the 19th
over.
