Worthing posted an impressive score of 259 for 4 having won the toss and batted first. Benn Challen's 133 (leg-side biased due to a heavily loaded off-side field) and Michael Gould's 81 (extra cover biased, where else?) being impressive against some good bowling at times, although Gouldy was given a life or two early on.
Glynde made 182 for 9 in reply, although their quest for maximum batting points made the game closer than it could have been. Andy Lutwyche picked up 4 for 38, Challen 3 for 40 and Ollie Rogers 2 for 47 (including the top scalp of Joe Adams) in a commanding draw where only the home side really looked like winning. Rogers won the Literary Cup for the day as he and Glynde skipper Dominic Shepherd had an interesting cricketing debate on the merits of the referral system and the future of the umpires' authority when it comes to decision making in the game, at least that's what I assume they discussed.
44 points from two games: can't grumble.
