Senior Results - 30.8.14

1st XI v Lindfield (Home):
Any remaining hopes of promotion disappeared with a loss to Lindfield at the MCG. Having won the toss returning skipper Luke Vinter opted to ask the visitors to bat first. Lindfield made 180 all out from 52 overs with Benn Challen maintaining his good form with the ball by claiming 4 for 59 and Nick Oxley 2 for 23.

Worthing's reply got off to a good start as Alex Harris and Matt Green put on 51 for the first wicket but as has been the case too often this season a collapse saw the score move to 56 for 3 very quickly. Nick Ballamy's well constructed 59 was in vain as the hosts were bundled out for 151 and a loss by 29 runs.

Scorecard

2nd XI v Haywards Heath (Away):
Tom Lund's side remain favourites to bag the second promotion spot as they beat rock-bottom Haywards Heath. Having been put in on a wet wicket they declared on 198 for 8 with Tim Dunn making 71, Brad Lewis 41 and Lund 35.

The Worthing attack made short work of the reply as the hosts succumbed for just 77 in 23.5 overs with Jamie Piper grabbing 3 or 12, Kevin Punter 3 for 34, Shane Felton 2 for 29 and Harry Dunn 2 for 5. Worthing are 5 points ahead of Middleton with one game remaining.

Scorecard

3rd XI v Brighton and Hove (Away):
A loss by 8 wickets to a powerful Brighton and Hove side. Having been stuck in Worthing were bundled out for just 114.

The reply lasted just 14 overs and saw only 2 wickets go down as overseas player Lachlan Stewart smashed 76 not out, in what must have been yet another proud moment for him and his family.

Worthing finish in the bottom two but who knows whether they'll be relegated?

Scorecard

4th XI v Horsham Trinity (Home):
Both these sides sealed promotion the previous week so there was nothing but pride to play for at the Manor. Trinity won the toss and elected to bat, recovering from 0 for 2 to make 113. Anthony Kane claimed 4 for 21, Glenn Harris 3 for 17 and Robson Piper 2 for 17.

The reply never got going and stuttered to just 61 all out with only Alex Anderson (10) and Kane (16) making double figures. Promotion achieved though!

Senior Results - 28.6.14

2nd XI v Haywards Heath (Home):
A relatively easy win for Tom Lund's side as they won by 57 runs. Lund won the toss and elected to bat with his side making 265 for 1 declared from just 41.3 overs. Brad Lewis scored 101, Alex Harris 101 not out and Gary Tester 51, importantly leaving 59 overs to bowl out a struggling opposition.

Heath were eventually bowled out for 208 with Jamie Piper claiming 3 for 36, Harry Dunn 3 for 30, Martyn Swift 2 for 23 and Shane Felton 1 for 56 in 51.2 overs. The team sit on top of the league with 26 point cushion.

Scorecard

3rd XI v Brighton and Hove (Home):
Tim Dunn's 3s were unable to finish off their visitors in achieving a winning draw. Having been inserted by the visitors Worthing amassed 215 for 9 with Kevin Punter hitting 45 and Michael Hodnett 40.

The reply ended on 135 for the loss of 8 wickets, with spin being the order of the day as Adam Squires took 5 for 21 and Nick Gunning, on his return from university, 2 for 38, with Paul Westlake taking the other scalp.

Scorecard

The 1st XI and 4th XI games were cancelled due to torrential rain north of the Downs.

Senior Results - 13.7.13

Batting was the let down for Worthing last weekend as every team came second!

1st XI v Brighton & Hove (Away):
Darryl Rebbetts lost the toss at The Nevill and Worthing were duly in the field first up. A good start with the ball despite Sussex first teamer Luke Wells dealing with balls on his legs mercilessly. A decent batting track, short boundary and lightning outfield meant the potential of a large score, but the hosts' nigh-on 58 overs produced 237 all out which was extremely gettable, although it could have been better with B&H at 140 for 7. Luke Vinter starred with the ball in taking 5 for 58, but Andy Lutwyche took 3 for 49 and Benn Challen, on his return from injury, took 2 for 65.

The batting never got going for the umpteenth week, as Malcolm Lake (22), Rebbetts (31), Alex Harris (33) and Ian Gooding (21) got starts but failed to capitalise. Only Challen, with a well worked 51 produced the sort of score that more should had and Worthing fell 30 runs short of their target.

Scorecard

2nd XI v Findon (Home):
A fixture where second played third in the league, but once again the batting let the home side down. Tom Lund won thetoss and elected to bat but once again many got starts but failed to kill the game off with a decisive innings as Worthing were all out for 131. Nick Oxley top scored with 44 and Gary Tester 39 but only 3 more made double figures.

Findon chased down the total for the loss of just two wickets, one for Oxley and the other a run out in what was a disappointing performance for Lund's side. Worthing remain in thrid spot but are now 40 points behind their local rivals.

Scorecard

3rd XI v Clayton & Belgrave Adelaide (Away):
Tim Dunn may have struggled to be the toast of his side having won the toss and fielded.especially as the hosts racked up 225 for 4 in just 44 overs. Jack Westlake, Dan White and Jack Dunn all took a wicket each plus a run out amounted to the four scalps.

The chase never really got going but there was always a chance whilst skipper Dunn was their, but no-one could stay with him as he ended up stranded on 127 not out. with only Dave Marshallsay (24) and Harry Hartley (10) making double figures.

Scorecard

4th XI v Broadwater (Home):
Another local derby at the MCG with Adam Bastable winning the toss and choosing to bowl. Broadwater notched up 179 for 9 from their 40 overs with Andrew Culver taking 4 for 26, Rob Whittington 3 for 6 and a wicket a-piece for Sanjeev Kalra and Robson Piper.

The chase didn't quite get there but a maiden fifty for Dan Turner (51) was a highlight but GlennHarris (25), Bastable (20) and Kalra (21) all chipped in tot a total of 153 for 7.

Seniors - 11.5.13 Reports

1st XI v Brighton & Hove (Home)

A frustrating draw for Worthing first team after their famous victory last week as the visitors held on nine wickets down, and only 10 runs short of their target. Having won the toss Darryll Rebbetts opted to bat on a firm surface with a green tinge from overnight rain. Brighton & Hove made the most of the helpful early conditions to reduce Worthing's top order to 8 for 4 but a solid partnership between Rebbetts (99 not out) and recalled Alex Harris (43) of 117 rescued the innings as the hosts reached 188 all out.

In reply the visitors were watchful in the face of some tight bowling. John Glover was the pick of the home attack picking up 4 for 66, Luke Vinter (2 for 28), Benn Challen (2 for 44) and Andy Lutwyche (1 for 16) took the other wickets. A second win was a possibility had chances been held in the outfield so the hosts had to settle for 10 points.

Scorecard

2nd XI v Findon (Away)

This was the first ever league fixture between the two clubs, and skipper Tom Lund won the toss and elected to bowl, finishing Findon off for 125. Spinners were the winners as Harry Dunn (3 for 29) and Nick Oxley (3 for 20) had plenty of joy. Shane Felton picked up 2 for 35 and there was a wicket each for Martyn Swift and Jamie Piper.

Worthing's reply was stuttering at 42 for 5 with only Lloyd Crathern (20) the only one ro reach double figures before a torrential downpour made play impossible as standing water lay in the bowlers footmarks.

A draw then and 10 point a-piece.

Scorecard

3rd XI v Clayton & Belgrave Adelaide (Home)

A low scoring encounter as Worthing 3rds won their first game of the season. Having lost the toss Worthing set about the Adelaide batting line up with the Westlake show. Experienced (old) seamer Paul Westlake rolled back the years taking 7 for 22 in 15 overs, and youngster Joe Westlake completed the rout taking 3 for 38 as the visitors were all out for 89.

The reply got off to the worst possible start as skipper Tim Dunn opted to leave the second ball of the innings and was out LBW. 13 year old Josh Wood made an impressive 28 before Marc Hinton (30) and Dan Stuart (20) saw their side over the line,

Scorecard

4th XI v Broadwater (Away)

The 4th team travelled the 500 metres up the road to Broadwater Green with a youthful side. Adam Bastable opted to bowl first as the hosts notched up 214 for 6 from their 40 overs. Robson Piper starred with the ball, talking 3 for 38, with a wicket each for Greg Harris, Jack Westlake and James Belton.

The Worthing reply never really got going as they tumbled to 111 all out. Bastable top scored with 21, the Harris' Glenn and Greg got 13 each and Josh Hyde 12 but it wasn't enough.

Senior Results - 11.8.12

The first team gave themselves a huge boost with a much needed win over fellow relegation candidates Brighton and Hove. Having been put in by the visitors Worthing notched up 167 all out with Alex Harris top scoring upon his recall to the side with 45. Darryll Rebbetts (34), Ian Gooding (28) and Andy Reid (20) also chipped in.

Things didn't look good for Worthing with Brighton and Hove 113 for 4, but then John Glover got very angry for no apparent reason and mopped up the tail with impressive figures of 6 for 28. Mason Crane also chipped in with 2 for 40 and Benn Challen got a wicket. 30 points were gratefully accepted as Brighton won the toss and chose to field.

The second team slipped up at the Neville despite having scored a respectable 214 for 8. Tom Lund scored 59 not and Nick Ballamy continued to impress with 40 as others chipped in with 20s when had one gone on to score a bigger total, Worthing would have been out of site. Brighton and Hove got to their target 8 wickets down with an over and a bit to spare. Ballamy took 3 for 25, Paul Westlake 2 for 28, Nick Gunning and Michael Gould taking a wicket each.

The third eleven recorded a victory against Clayton & Belgrave Adelaide by 8 wickets. A good all-round day for the side saw skipper Kevin Punter take 6 for 36, Nick Oxley 2 for 24 and a wicket each for Sanjeev Kalra and Josh Cottrell as the hosts stumbled to 147 all out. Worthing made light work of their target as Lloyd Crathern hit a steady 49 and Gareth Challen a blistering 60 not out in just 46 balls to reach their target just 2 wickets down.

The fourth eleven almost required floodlights as Serendib took 4 hours to bowl their 48 overs in an over rate that would have embarrassed many test teams. Worthing reached 252 for 4 as Jack Stuart and Dave Leader both hit exactly 50 and Lloyd Osland 77 not out. Serendib clung on for a draw in the half-light reaching 230 for 9.Andy Culver took 4 for 68 and Jamie Piper 2 for 31 alongside some dodgy running from the visitors.

The fifth team travelled to West Blatchington restricting the home side to 197 for 5 from their 40 overs. Greg Harris took 3 for 36 with a wicket each for James Belton and Josh Hyde. In reply Worthing were 59 runs short having achieved 138 for 9. Josh Quintais top scored with and Adam Bastable hit 25.

Senior Results - 9.6.12

The First Eleven got off the mark with a comprehensive victory against Brighton & Hove at the delight that is The Nevil. Having won the toss skipper Darryl Rebbetts stuck the hosts in, and immediately we saw what we'd been missing as John Glover steamed in for his first bowl for the club, removing double centurian Chris Liddle in his opening spell of 1 for 14 off 6 pacy overs. Luke Vinter picked up a wicket too, but the main damage was done by Benn Challen (4 for 39) and debutant Mason Crane (4 for 35), including a hat-trick to polish off the innings for just 116.

Worthing chased down their target in the 28th over with Michael Gould smashing 61, Ben Chambers 15 and Bann Challen 24 not out. 30 points and hopefully the first of many victories!

The Seconds had a very younthful look to their side with weddings depriving them off the experienced players. Brighton and Hove batted first and knocked up 227 for 9, with the wickets being shared around, with Martyn Swift taking 2 for 28 and a wicket each for every other bowler!

In reply the home side were on the ropes until Mayur Patel (39), Harry Dunn (26) and Nick Ballamy (19) got stuck in. The side held on 9 down for a total of 161.

There was drama for the Third team as they tied with Clayton and Belgrave Adelaide, with both sides hitting 161. Worthing batted first, losing 8 wickets in the process, with Tom Chambers knocking up another half century with 59, Dave Leader 28 and Dan Stuart 21.

Top of the table Adelaide looked favourites to win the game until Dave Leader (4 for 22), Sanjeev Kalra (3 for 44) and Luke Barnes (3 for 31) did the damage with the ball. Tempers got a little heated at the end on both sides but ultimately cricket was the winner!

The fourth team couldn't get enough cars up to Serendib due to another wedding!

The less said about the Fifths, the better according to skipper Adam Bastable, as they succumbed to West Blatchington 2nd XI. Blatch batted first and made 165 for 7, with Greg Harris taking 4 for 21, Harry Reeves 2 for 41 and a wicket for Glenn Harris. In reply Worthing got just 35 all out, with Glenn Harris hitting 34 and there being one bye.
