1st XI v Horsham (Away):

A slightly depleted side travelled to Horsham and elected to field under stand-in captain Luke Vinter on what looked a typically batsman friendly track. A whirlwind start from Michael Gould (60) at almost a run per ball, but a mini-collapse saw few hit double figures except Alex Harris (19), but the ship was steadied by Ian Gooding (46) who played excellently and Ollie Rogers (19) until the latter was dismissed. Andy Lutwyche (44 not out) took the score up to 205 when this seemed unlikely at 100 for 6.

Horsham struggled to their target and made it with 8 wickets down as Benn Challen claimed 4 for 88 and Vinter 3 for 42, and Malcolm Lake took the other wicket courtesy of a superb diving catch at slip from Challen.

Again the side didn't get the runs required to quite win the game, but a spirited effort with the ball and in the field almost reaped unlikely reward.

2nd XI v Hellingly (Home):

Worthing breezed to an easy win as Hellingly opted to bat and succumbed for just 58 in the face of some solid bowling from the hosts. Martyn Swift took 5 for 6 from 7 overs and Andy Reid 4 for 16, including a hat-trick, with Shane Felton claiming the other wicket.

Reid (29) and Brad Lewis (22 not out) knocked of the runs in under 15 overs to give Worthing a 30 point haul. Little more to say!

Scorecard

3rd XI v Aldwick (Away):

Skipper Tim Dunn won the toss and elected to bat as Worthing scored 199 all out. Dunn (47), Kevin Punter (43), Glenn Harris (35), Josh Wood (23) and Rob Whittington (17) all got starts and possibly should have taken the score well over 200 hundred.

Aldwick reached their target just 5 wickets down with Jack Dunn (2 for 26), Punter and Harris taking the wickets.
