1st XI v Goring (Home):
A comfortable win for Worthing in this local derby. The visitors won the toss and elected to bat on a pitch that looked good but lacked pace. Wickets were shared between the bowlers as captain Luke Vinter claimed 3 for 16, Benn Challen 3 for 7, Nick Oxley 2 for 36 and Andy Lutwyche 2 for 15 withe batsmen having two choices: block or slog, in their total of 101 in just under 33 overs.

The reply didn't start well as Andy Reid and Oxley went to the first two balls of the innings but Matt Green (57 not out) and Challen (29) steadied the ship, then Stuart Carter (13 not out) saw his side over the line and up to 4th in the league.

2nd XI v Goring (Away):
A frustrating game for the seconds as they played all the cricket only to be thwarted by stoic defense from Goring's number eleven. Having been asked to bat first Worthing amassed 248 for 3 with Brad James scoring a fine 103 not out, Gary Tester 85 and contributions from Martyn Swift (19) and Tom Lund (25).

Goring's reply never got going as wickets fell at regular intervals. Swift took 4 for 27, Shane Felton 3 for 35 and Tester 1 for 12, but the hosts held on for a draw and 1 point compared to Worthing's 14 points.
