U15 Match Report Worthing v Arundel 28th August
Worthing (157 for 7 after 25 overs) beat Arundel (68 all out after 24.1 overs) by 89 runs
Worthing U15s secured the WACA Bowl League title making it 4 wins in 4 as they put on an impressive performance with bat and ball in their final match of the season. Worthing won the toss and elected to bat against an Arundel side fielding a few up and coming players that will no doubt be making their mark in the future. Worthing got off to a solid enough start putting on 27 for the for the first wicket, James Allen going on to achieve a retirement score playing solidly for his 25. The run rate reached new heights while Ollie Carpenter and Nick Ballamy were together with both batsman reaching their retirement scores in under 20 balls. Arundel's opening bowler Keelan Shoulders bowled well to taking 1 wicket in his 5 overs for just 18 runs while Sam Temple picked up 3 wickets with his brand of off-spin but there was no holding Worthing as they charged on passing 150 in the 24th over.
With an almost impossible target to beat, Arundel scored quickly from the off but the fall of the 1st wicket in the 4th over signalled a batting collapse as the next 6 wickets fell in as many overs. Martyn Swift set things in motion with 2 wickets in three balls but it was Sam Greenrod, who did most damage, coming away with 5 wickets for 16 runs on the day. Sam Temple offered some resistance for Arundel achieving his own retirement score but even a brief rain shower in the latter half of the innings couldn't prevent the inevitable as Worthing closed out the match in the final over when Harvey Von Biel took a catch at backward square for the last wicket. With Pagham confirming they are unable to honour their fixture, Worthing finish unbeaten at top of the table. Well done boys, take a well earned rest.
