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!
