Senior Results - 5.7.14

Not a great week for Worthing CC to be honest, as the best result was a draw!

1st XI v Chichester Priory (Home):
The visitors won the toss and elected to bat on a good looking surface. They opted to use all their 53 overs in amassing 260 for 9, scoring pretty slowly for the last 5 or so overs. The bowling figures weren't overly pretty, but Benn Challen took 3 for 63, Will Fazakerley 2 for 40 and a wicket each for Nick Ballamy and Andy Lutwyche.

The Worthing innings finished on 207 for 8 with a few threatening to win the game before stalling. Brad James scored 53 and Andy Reid 51, with 38 from the in-form Ian Gooding.

2nd XI v Chichester Priory (Away):
There were two centuries for the second week running for Tom Lund's second eleven. Losing two early wickets didn't stop Worthing amassing 250 for 2 from exactly 50 overs as Stuart Carter made 105 not out and Lund 103 not out.

The hosts achieved their target with 3 balls to spare and for the loss of 8 wickets. Jamie Piper claimed 5 for 60, with Carter, Shane Felton and Dave Leader also taking a wicket each.

3rd XI v Clayton & Belgrave Adelaide (Home):
Tim Dunn's men won the toss and elected to bat first but lost early wickets. They were saved by some youngsters in the form of Dan Stuart (52) and Harvey Von Biel (70) as a total of 197 for 7 was set for the visitors.

The visitors reached their target thanks to some lusty lower order hitting, but Paul Westlake claimed 3 for 41, Adam Squires 2 for 50 and a wicket each for Kevin Punter and Robson Piper.

Scorecard

4th XI v Felbridge & Sunnyside (Away):
Glenn Harris' men won the toss and decided to bat first on what was a drying wicket, and so it proved as they were skittled for just 92 in 29 overs, with Harris and Kieran O'Brien top-scoring with 20 each.

The hosts took less than 20 overs to reach their goal for the loss of a solitary wicket claimed by Andy Culver.
