1st XI v Cuckfield (Away):
This game was blighted by the weather and a poor surface. Having won the toss Darryl Rebbetts elected to field and Worthing found early success with a wicket each for Malcolm Lake and Luke Vinter leaving the hosts 19 for 2, but they recovered with some very intelligent batting from overseas Big Bash player Cameron Borgas (Cricinfo Profile Here) who scored a classy hundred whilst wearing a number of deliveries. Benn Challen picked up two wickets as Cuckfield declared on 225 for 4 with the rain beginning to fall leading to an extended tea break.

Worthing's innings got off to a poor start with the early loss of Matt Green, but Lake hit 4 fours from an over before the rain came again leading to another hour's delay. Despite attempting to continue, the conditions were made very clear as Andy Reid literally went flying whilst attempting a single and the umpires abandoned the game giving both sides 10 points each and hope of escaping relegation for Worthing.
