Goring (98 for 4 after 20 overs) lost to Worthing by 10 wickets (99 for 0 after 16.3 overs)
A fine Summer's evening greeted the teams at Fernhurst Drive for Worthing's 2nd U15 league game of the season. On what proved to be a favourable batting wicket, Worthing's opening seamers, Martyn Swift and Jamie Packer, bowled well restricting the home side to just 20 after 6 overs. However, a hefty amount of short-pitched bowling followed, allowing the runs to flow more easily. Two retirements from Harry Anstead and Alex Jones got the Goring innings back on track which was further boosted by Sam Edney with a quick fire 15 off 14 balls. By the end Worthing were looking a little flat in the field unlike Goring's total which had risen to 98.
Worthing's reply started steadily but once openers Harry Dunn and Aaron Tugnutt got into their stride, their was only one outcome. Between them they found the boundary on 7 occasions and by the time they had both retired out, the total had reached 72. And so it was that Martyn Swift and Robbie Anderson would knock of the last few runs to conclude a strong win for Worthing albeit with some areas to work on in the bowling and fielding departments.
