A potential banana skin averted as the first team extend their lead at the top of the table with what can only be described as an annihilation of local rivals and Division 2 newcomers Goring. It was a historic first league meeting between the two teams and one the visitors will want to forget in a hurry.
Heavy overnight rain meant a soft and slow track, and Worthing skipper Michael Gould opted to insert Goring having won the toss. This paid off as Goring slumped to 67 all out in 33 overs with only Matt Keen able to reach double figures. Luke Vinter took 5 for 15 and Andy Lutwyche 5 for 40, both in 16 overs.
The reply lasted just 15 overs as Ben Chambers scored 19* and Dominic Clapp, in his first game of the season, looked like he'd never been away with a commanding 42*.
A 10 wicket win and a very early finish before the rain arrived was just what the doctor ordered!
