Worthing opened up a 69 point lead at the top of the league with a convincing victory over second placed Haywards Heath. Having won the toss and electing to bat, Heath slumped to 135 all out with Benn Challen taking 5 for 17 and Andy Lutwyche 4 for 63. The pressure of a tidy line and length from the Worthing attack told as Heath had to rely mainly on quick singles to get the scoreboard ticking.
In reply Worthing reached their target with just one wicket lost, as skipper Micahel Gould found his form again (Heath must be sick of the site of him) with a powerful 63 not out, Dominic Clapp scored 23 and Benn Challen accrued 35 not out in their leisurely pursuit of the target.
That's 6 wins on the trot for Worthing who must be favourites for the Division 2 title now, especially with Cuckfield losing to Goring.
