Tom Lund's men got back to winning ways with a comfortable win over Ansty. Having been asked to at first Worthing made 232 for 6 with Gareth Challen making 85, Lund 45 and Nick Gunning 36.

Scorecard

Tim Dunn's side were asked to bat first with the skipper then opting to use his head rather than his bat on 9. Fellow opener and son Jack top scored with 47 runs all around the wicket apparently, and Suvadip Dey made 30 at the end as Worthing ended on 167 all out.

Senior Results - 19.7.14

1st v Goring (Away):
A wet wicket made the toss crucial and the start delayed. Luke Vinter won it and inserted the hosts who proceeded to lose two quick wickets. Overseas bowler Corey Altis finished with 2 for 23, Benn Challen 2 for 14 and Andy Lutwyche 4 for 29 as Goring were bowled out for 123.

Worthing made heavy weather of the chase, achieving their target for the loss of 6 wickets as Matt Green scored a quickfire 29 and Challen 38 to record Vinter's side's first win in 6 games.

Scorecard

Tom Lund won the toss and elected to chase whatever Goring set, which turned out to be 168. Martyn Swift claimed 5 for 38 and he was ably supported by Shane Felton's 2 for 64 and Adam Squires' 2 for 13.

Lund's men were skittled however, for just 138 in a surprise loss with Dave Leader top scoring with 45. The game was marred slightly by some unsporting behaviour on Goring's behalf as Worthing were forced to field with essentially 9 men due to injuries.

Scorecard

Having been asked to make first use of the track at "The Green" Glenn Harris' men accumulated 246 all out with the skipper making 91, Neil Harris 31 and Greg Harris 33 in what can only be described as a family affair.

Senior Results - 5.7.14

Not a great week for Worthing CC to be honest, as the best result was a draw!

1st XI v Chichester Priory (Home):
The visitors won the toss and elected to bat on a good looking surface. They opted to use all their 53 overs in amassing 260 for 9, scoring pretty slowly for the last 5 or so overs. The bowling figures weren't overly pretty, but Benn Challen took 3 for 63, Will Fazakerley 2 for 40 and a wicket each for Nick Ballamy and Andy Lutwyche.

The Worthing innings finished on 207 for 8 with a few threatening to win the game before stalling. Brad James scored 53 and Andy Reid 51, with 38 from the in-form Ian Gooding.

Scorecard

2nd XI v Chichester Priory (Away):
There were two centuries for the second week running for Tom Lund's second eleven. Losing two early wickets didn't stop Worthing amassing 250 for 2 from exactly 50 overs as Stuart Carter made 105 not out and Lund 103 not out.

The hosts achieved their target with 3 balls to spare and for the loss of 8 wickets. Jamie Piper claimed 5 for 60, with Carter, Shane Felton and Dave Leader also taking a wicket each.

Scorecard

3rd XI v Clayton & Belgrave Adelaide (Home):
Tim Dunn's men won the toss and elected to bat first but lost early wickets. They were saved by some youngsters in the form of Dan Stuart (52) and Harvey Von Biel (70) as a total of 197 for 7 was set for the visitors.

The visitors reached their target thanks to some lusty lower order hitting, but Paul Westlake claimed 3 for 41, Adam Squires 2 for 50 and a wicket each for Kevin Punter and Robson Piper.

Scorecard

4th XI v Felbridge & Sunnyside (Away):
Glenn Harris' men won the toss and decided to bat first on what was a drying wicket, and so it proved as they were skittled for just 92 in 29 overs, with Harris and Kieran O'Brien top-scoring with 20 each.

The hosts took less than 20 overs to reach their goal for the loss of a solitary wicket claimed by Andy Culver.
