1st XI v East Grinstead (Home):
I think it's fair to say that the first team were brought to earth with a bump as their unbeaten start came to an end against title contenders East Grinstead at the MCG. Despite heavy overnight rain the pitch was a belter and Darryl Rebbetts opted to bowl first having won the toss.
A reasonably tight start saw Jamie Piper take his first wicket in the first eleven but Tim Davey, former Worthing overseas player Ben Cameron's protege from Australia smashed 180 as EG amassed 334 for 5 in their 58 overs, endangering the cars in the car park on more that one occasion. Matt Machan picked up to wickets, with Malcolm Lake and Matt Green taking the others.
Worthing'r reply never really got going and started in the worst possible way as Green was run out without facing and wickets fell steadily until Alex Harris (44) and Darryl Rebbetts (13) hung around. Worthing eventually succumbed for just 109.
Well and truly beaten by a better team on the day.

2nd XI v Ifield (Away):
The second team finally managed to complete a game at Ifield, which ended in a draw. Having been put into bat Tom Lund's side lost early wickets but the skipper himself and Gary Tester steadied the boat. Lund was out for 38 but Tester went onto score 104 which included 10 fours and 5 sixes and take the total up to 189 for 8 from 53 overs.
In reply the hosts held on for the draw at 154 for 9. Shane Felton took 3 for 53 and Luke Barnes 2 for 24, with a wicket each for Martyn Swift, Tester and Kevin Punter.

Seniors Results - 18.5.13
A clean sweep for all the senior sides this weekend! Excellent!
1st XI v Hastings & St Leonards Priory:
The 1st XI only play in nail-biters! A win by just 3 runs at Horntye Park in Hastings saw the team climb to second in the table and continue their unbeaten start. Having won the toss Darryll Rebbetts opted to have a bat the visitors found two-paced pitch that offered the spinners a decent amount of encouragement. A few got a start but failed to make Hastings pay, namely Andy Reid (11), Malcolm Lake (32), Rebbetts (37), Alex Harris (20) and Ian Gooding (24) as Worthing limped to 156 all out.
A slightly wayward start from Worthing with the ball allowed Hastings to get off to a decent start but then wickets fell in clusters as Lake (2 for 29) made inroads. The turning point (pun intended) came when young left arm spinner Harry Dunn was introduced to the attack. Making his debut Dunn claimed 5 for 17 from 10 overs and left Luke Vinter to wrap up the tail with 2 late wickets to finish with figures of 3 for 28.
A famous victory that led to Vinter waving his shirt in the air as the rest of the team chased him!
Scorecard
2nd XI v Glynde & Beddingham:
For the second time this season the opposition failed to raise a side against our 2nd XI, which is exceptionally frustrating for the team and the club, although the league apparently have bigger fish to fry!
Scorecard
3rd XI v Eastergate:
Worthing travelled to Eastergate in a bid to maintain their unbeaten start to the season. Having been stuck in by the hosts they lost skipper Tim Dunn early on but Lloyd Osland (26) steadied the ship with Tom Lund (57), with contributions from Marc Hinton (20) and Dan Stuart (19) as the visitors reached just 166.
Eastergate's reply barely got going as they crumbled for just 112 all out. Paul Westlake was the pick of the bowlers once again, taking 6 for 30, ably supported by Stuart (2 for 22) and wicket each for Roger Shaw and Jack Dunn.
Scorecard
4th XI v St Andrews (Burgess Hill):
The 4th XI achieved their first win of the season over St Andrews at the Manor. Having won the toss skipper Adam Bastable elected to bowl which proved an astute move as the visitors tumbled to 115 all out. Every bowler had joy on the wicket front with Greg Harris claiming 3 for 19, Jack Westlake 2 for 19 and James Belton 2 for 21. Adam Squires, Robson Piperand Adrew Culver took a wicket each.
The chase was relatively straight forward and Worthing achieved this wit the loss of just one wicket. Glenn Harris scored an aggressive 62 not out aided by Luc Hinton with 32 not out.
A solid performance!

Seniors - 11.5.13 Reports
1st XI v Brighton & Hove (Home)
A frustrating draw for Worthing first team after their famous victory last week as the visitors held on nine wickets down, and only 10 runs short of their target. Having won the toss Darryll Rebbetts opted to bat on a firm surface with a green tinge from overnight rain. Brighton & Hove made the most of the helpful early conditions to reduce Worthing's top order to 8 for 4 but a solid partnership between Rebbetts (99 not out) and recalled Alex Harris (43) of 117 rescued the innings as the hosts reached 188 all out.
In reply the visitors were watchful in the face of some tight bowling. John Glover was the pick of the home attack picking up 4 for 66, Luke Vinter (2 for 28), Benn Challen (2 for 44) and Andy Lutwyche (1 for 16) took the other wickets. A second win was a possibility had chances been held in the outfield so the hosts had to settle for 10 points.
Scorecard
2nd XI v Findon (Away)
This was the first ever league fixture between the two clubs, and skipper Tom Lund won the toss and elected to bowl, finishing Findon off for 125. Spinners were the winners as Harry Dunn (3 for 29) and Nick Oxley (3 for 20) had plenty of joy. Shane Felton picked up 2 for 35 and there was a wicket each for Martyn Swift and Jamie Piper.
Worthing's reply was stuttering at 42 for 5 with only Lloyd Crathern (20) the only one ro reach double figures before a torrential downpour made play impossible as standing water lay in the bowlers footmarks.
A draw then and 10 point a-piece.
Scorecard
3rd XI v Clayton & Belgrave Adelaide (Home)
A low scoring encounter as Worthing 3rds won their first game of the season. Having lost the toss Worthing set about the Adelaide batting line up with the Westlake show. Experienced (old) seamer Paul Westlake rolled back the years taking 7 for 22 in 15 overs, and youngster Joe Westlake completed the rout taking 3 for 38 as the visitors were all out for 89.
The reply got off to the worst possible start as skipper Tim Dunn opted to leave the second ball of the innings and was out LBW. 13 year old Josh Wood made an impressive 28 before Marc Hinton (30) and Dan Stuart (20) saw their side over the line,
Scorecard
4th XI v Broadwater (Away)
The 4th team travelled the 500 metres up the road to Broadwater Green with a youthful side. Adam Bastable opted to bowl first as the hosts notched up 214 for 6 from their 40 overs. Robson Piper starred with the ball, talking 3 for 38, with a wicket each for Greg Harris, Jack Westlake and James Belton.
The Worthing reply never really got going as they tumbled to 111 all out. Bastable top scored with 21, the Harris' Glenn and Greg got 13 each and Josh Hyde 12 but it wasn't enough.

Seniors - Star Wars Day Reports
First league games of the season and Worthing were hoping that the Force would be with them in their four games in the league.
1st XI v Preston Nomads (Away):
Once again the fixture conjured up a tricky start for Worthing at the reigning league champions, Preston Nomads. Darryl Rebbetts won the toss and elected to bowl for Nomads to rack up 238 for 9 from their 53 overs in a shortened game due to some lunch time rain In tghe wickets was Sussex batsman Matt Machan, making his league debut for the club, who took 3 for 45, John Glover took 2 for 45, with Benn Challen, Luke Vinter and overseas all-rounder Malcolm Lake all taking a wick a-piece.
Worthing were cruising in reply at 224 for 1 with Michael Gould (67), another debutant Matt Green (66) and Machan (84) inflicting the damage, but a collapse left Ian Gooding facing his first ball, which was the last ball of the game requiring 4 runs with every fielder on the boundary. The wicketkeeper somehow found a gap much to the delight of the team who stormed the pitch as Gooding aeroplaned around the outfield!
Historic win!

2nd XI v St James (Home):
St James couldn't raise a side and therefore conceded the game.
2nd XI Scorecard
3rd XI v Worthing Chippingdale (Away):
A new look 3rd XI under tactical genius and self-proclaimed "most successful captain in Worthing history" Tim Dunn started at local rivals Chips. Worthing were given first use of the wicket with the bat and started slowly, but Tom Lund (41), Nick Oxley (87 not out), Paul Westlake (yes you read that correctly - 19) and Jack Dunn (26 not out) rescued the innings and posted a total of 217 for 8.
Worthing got their hosts 9 wickets down but couldn't take the final wicket. Harry Dunn took 4 for 49 and Oxley 2 for 59, with a wicket each for Westlake and Jamie Piper.
3rd XI Scorecard
4th XI v Chichester Priory 4th XI (Home):
Skipper Adam Bastable stuck the visitors in having won the toss but a mixture of some sloppy fielding and powerful hitting saw Chichester pile up 230 all out from their 40 overs. Dan Stuart took 3 for 27 and James Belton 3 for 28 did most of the damage, with Greg Harris, Jack Westlake and Adam Squires all opening their wicket accounts for the season.
A great effort from Worthing to chase down the total saw them finish on 227 for 9 with Glenn Harris (73), Marc Hinton (58) and Neil Harris (23) the main contributors in what all agreed was a great game played in a good spirit.
