U16 Bowl Match 1: Worthing (148 All Out) beat Chichester (123 All Out) by 25 runs
Worthing finished as victors from a game played in contrasting conditions and which for a long while could have gone either way. Worthing, having won the toss, chose to bat, starting the game in bright sunshine on what proved to be a slow wicket. With runs not coming easily, opener Harry Dunn set about building an innings that would ultimately provide the backbone of the innings and by the time he departed on 73 with the total on 140, his innings, including 9 fours, would prove pivotal to the outcome of the match. Robbie Anderson (16) and Harvey Von Biel (15 not out) played nice cameo innings alongside Harry but a madcap final 2 overs saw Worthing lose their last 4 wickets in quick succesion, including a hat-trick from Chichester's Elliott Davies as Worthing tried to boost their total.
By the resumption the sun had been replaced by overcast an murky conditions and Worthing's opening bowlers, Martyn Swift and Nick Ballamy bowled well enough to keep Chichester down to just 15 off the first 9 overs. The murky conditions were soon replaced by some light drizzle as Worthing's spinners took control of the game. Mason Crane and James Allen bowled in tandem in the 2nd half of the innings as Chichester tried to up the run rate but on a troublesome pitch and in difficult conditions the wickets started to fall. Ollie Greenless (42) starred with the bat for Chichester but when he was out for the 7th wicket the game was up. To Chichester's credit, they continued the run chase but to no avail with Mason and James both finishing with 4 wickets apiece.
