Another victory against fellow promotion contenders St James saw Worthing ease to victory by 87 runs on a wicket made tough to score quickly on by some overnight rain. St James won the toss and inserted their hosts. Worthing made 181 for 9 with contributions from Benn Challen (37), Darryll Rebbetts (34), Andy Reid (34) and John Kaye (29). It would have been more had it not been for a superb fielding performance from the visitors who must have saved well over 20 runs.
The St James reply was bizarre as it was ridiculous. Dangerman Raza Ali was superbly caught by John Kaye one handed of Luke Vinter on just 4 and it was downhill from their as numbers 3, 4 and 5 tried to slog their way to victory, unsuccessfully. Vinter went on to claim 3 for 42 and Andy Lutwyche who took 5 for 32 as St James collapsed to just 94 all out. Worthing's fielding was on a par with their opponents with great catches taken by Bradley James at mid-off and Michael Gould at slip.
Worthing go into next week's game against newly promoted local rivals Goring on a high.
