Worthing 144 for 3 off 25 overs beat Bognor by 40 runs, 104 all out after 24.1 overs
An overcast morning with the very occasional light shower saw Worthing start the game after being invited to bat by the visitors. After an early loss, some expansive hitting from Harry Dunn, 30 no, Daniel Stuart, 30 no and Nick Ballamy, 32no, generating a total of 17 boundaries between them, saw three successive retirements as Worthing eased passed the 100 mark in the 20th over. Joe Ashmore was the pick of the Bognor bowlers going for just 16 off 5 overs trying to keep a lid on things, but some sprightly runs from the bats of Ollie Carpenter, Sam Wookey and James Allen towards the end got Worthing's total up to an impressive 144 for just 3 down at the close.
Bognor got off to sticky start and were already 3 wickets down in the 5th over as Bradley Lewis opened up with an impressive first spell. Alex Cooper lead a fine rearguard action for Bognor claiming his own retirement score, but the introduction of Mason Crane's leg-spin was the catalyst for the demise of the lower order. Cooper returned in the late innings but when he was out for the 10th wicket for 33, Bognor's total was still 40 runs shy of Worthing's. Bradley and Mason shared the same figures of 4 for 16 off 5 overs, capping a good all-round performance by Worthing in the field.
