Arundel 110 All Out (off 32.1
overs) lost to Worthing 111 for 4 (off 30 overs)
An early morning downpour made
this another good toss to win as Martyn Swift once again came up trumps with
the call and duly invited Arundel to bat. Worthing’s seamers, Nick Ballamy and
Jamie Piper were the pick of the bowlers each taking 3 wickets during the
innings but everyone played their part as Worthing’s bowling and fielding made
it difficult for the opposition to score runs quickly on what was a slow
outfield. Keelan Shoulders batted well for his 29 and Matt Clynes chanced his
arm for a quick-fire 31 before he was undone by a slower delivery from Nick.
One or two lapses in the field were the only real blemish on what was otherwise
a very good display from the Worthing eleven.
Aaron Tugnutt and Mike Askew
opened the reply for Worthing and both looked in good touch as they set about
building an innings. However, some excellent catching in the deep saw Arundel
halt Worthing’s progress as both openers and subsequently James Allen, all holed
out to big shots that were well taken by the fielding side. After a slightly
nervy start, Harvey Von Biel and Ollie Carpenter settled in to begin a
partnership which would prove decisive. Harvey hit eight 4’s on his way to an
unbeaten 40 and Ollie hit 25 including a 6 over long-on before being stumped 3
runs shy of the target. Josh Wood, playing his first game for the U16s, came in
to hit the winning runs to give Worthing another strong win in the group.
