1st XI v Findon (Away):
This will certainly go down in the annals of Worthing CC history as a classic victory snatched from the jaws of defeat; like the "Thriller In Manila" this could arguably be dubbed "The Ding-Dong in Findon", maybe.
Findon won the toss and elected to bat on a slow and stodgy wicket at Long Furlong. After a slow start for both sides Benn Challen came into the attack and finished with figures of 6 for 24, aided by Corey Altis' 2 for 42 and Luke Vinter's 1 for 16 as the hosts succumbed for 151 from 52 overs.
The reply didn't start well as Worthing slumped to 15 for 4, but a rebuilding job from Stuart Carter (16), Ian Gooding (33) and John Glover (56) got Worthing close with some excellent (mainly) running between the wickets and a little fortune as catches were dropped. Some lusty blows from Vinter (11) still left the final pair Jamie "the right-handed Lara" Piper and the injured Altis 16 more runs for the win. An enormous six over extra cover from Altis and a square drive from Piper led to a one wicket victory and 30 slightly jammy points for Vinter's men.
Scoreboard
2nd XI v Cuckfield (Home):
An easy win for Worthing against Cuckfield at the MCG by 97 runs. The visitors inserted Tom Lund's men who scored 180 for 9 with Lund scoring 54 and Brad Lewis 38 on another slow wicket due to the seemingly constant rain this season.
The Cuckfield reply never really got going as then were bundled out for 83 as Harry Dunn took 4 for 24, Martyn Swift claimed 3 for 9 after a Lazarus-like recovery from a life threatening injury whilst batting. There was a wicket each for Nick Ballamy, Shane Felton and Luke Barnes.
Scorecard
3rd XI v Eastergate (Away):
A loss against a first team is no disgrace for the Chairman's 3rd XI. Eastergate opted to bowl first upon winning the toss with Worthing finishing on 153 all out. Chairman Dunn scored 31, Kevin Punter 35, Michael Hodnett 19, Justin Nash 15 and Adam Bastable 12.

Harris' men made 125 for the loss of 6 wickets with Lloyd Crathern and Neil Harris both hitting 24, the latter not out and Osland 52 to maintain their strong start to the season.
