27.8.11 - 1st XI v Stirlands

A stuttering end to the end season continued as the 1s got a draw at home to relegation threatened Stirlands.

Stirlands won the toss and opted to bat on a wet wicket from heavy rain the previous day. A lightning start was exaggerated by some ill-disciplined bowling, but Benn Challen (4 for 66) and Michael Gould (5 for 48) managed to bowl the visitors out for 215 in 40 overs of off-spin.

The reply got off to a slow start as Worthing lost 5 wickets cheaply, but Andy Reid (69 not out) and Stuart Carter (49 not out) saw Worthing up to a respectable 193 for 5 at the close.

With one game to go Worthing require 2 points to clinch promotion and 13 to win the title.
