The first eleven traveled to East Grinstead and bowled first on what looked a decent surface having lost the toss. After a wayward start with the ball, Worthing regained some control with the spin attack of Benn Challen (2 for 42) and Mason Crane (4 for 84) to restrict EG to 245 for 8 when it looked initially like a far larger total. John Glver took the other wicket.
What wasn't factored into the equation was Sussex paceman Lewis Hatchett who took 9 for 17 as Worthing stumbled to just 57 all out, with no false shots, just Hatchett swinging it around corners!
The seconds won by 62 runs at the MCG. Having elected to bat first the hosts clocked up 235 for 5 with veteran Tim Dunn batting all 53 overs for 97 not out, aided by Alex Harris (27), Nick Ballamy (25) and Nick Gunning (33 not out). EG never looked like reaching their target as Martyn Swift (4 for 40) and Shane Felton (4 for 50) made early inroads, whilst Paul Westlake (2 for 30) mopped up the tail. The two's are now in 6th position.
The third eleven achieved a winning draw against Brighton & Hove 3rd XI. Batting first Kevin Punter hit 59, Dave McAdam-Freud 49 not out, Josh Cottrell 44, Lloyd Crathern 35 and Tom Chambers 22 in their total of 241 for 4. The visitors ended on 221 for 9 with Cottrell taking 4 for 58, Jack Westlake 2 for 23 and a wicket each for Punter and Dave Leader.
The fourth eleven lost but PC UK failed to enter the result in time so it's tough to do a report!

Results - 2.6.12
The first eleven under new skipper Darryl Rebbetts still seek their first win of the season, despite the new captain scoring his maiden league century. Supported by ex-skipper Michael Gould's 31 and Stuart Carter's 47 not out, alongside Rebbetts 101 not out, the home side posted 247 for 5 in their 58 overs.
In reply East Grinstead got to the target 7 wickets down on what was ultimately a batsman-friendly pitch, with Benn Challen taking 4 for 64, Luke Vinter and Andy Lutwyche a wicket each to add to a run out.
The 2s are also yet to record their first victory having lost by 34 runs. Bowling first Worthing bowled the hosts out for 203, with Shane Felton (4 for 55) and Paul Westlake (4 for 36) inflicting much of the damage, youngsters Martyn Swift and Mayur Patel taking a wicket each.
Worthing fell short of the target with only John Kaye's 65 really looking threatening as they crumbled to 169 all out.
There was a victory though as the third team beat Brighton and Hove 3s at the Neville Ground. Worthing posted 226 for 4 with Lloyd Crathern scoring 74 and Tom Chambers 62 not out. Brighton and Hove were rolled for just 103 as Sanjeev Kalra taking 6 for 28, Dave Leader 2 for 19 and Luke Barnes 2 for 5. Convincing and huge congratulations to Kevin Punter's side.
The 4th team played at home to PC UK and batted first, putting together 198 for 8. Dave McAdam-Freud hit 84, ably supported by Matt Thorne (27) and Robbie Anderson (24 not out). PC UK reached their target 7 down, with Thorne starring by taking 6 for 25, Josh Hyde brabbing the other wicket.
The fifth team had a forgettable game at Crawley Eagles. The hosts batted first and crashed 303 for 5, Greg Harris taking 2 for 46, Josh Quintais 2 for 55 and a wicket for Harry Reeves. Worthing collapsed to just 47 all out with only Glenn Harris and Mark Sandell reaching double figures.

A terrific game this one as Worthing fell just 6 runs shy of their target against a strong Brighton and Hove side. Batting first B&H scored 227 all out in 40 overs, with Martyn Swift claiming 4 for 54, Nick Ballamy 3 for 15 and Mayur Patel 2 for 56. Jack Stuart took the other wicket.
In reply Worthing's batting all chipped in with Josh Goldsmith scoring 38, Kevin Punter 24, Patel contributing with the bat with 59, Lloyd Crathern 19 and Ballamy 27, but they lost their final wicket on 222, falling just short.

18.6.11 - 3rd XI and 4th XI v Brighton and Hove 3rd and 4th XI
The 3's were backing a new skipper on Saturday in Kevin Punter, who has taken on the role in Jim's absence.
On an amazingly blustery day over at the Nevil, Kev won his first toss and inserted the opposition. Joe Westlake opened the bowling with Kevin and Joe had immediate success. Joe bowled superbly all day and was rewarded with his for 5 wicket haul. He produced excellent figures of 5 for 28 off 10 overs of which 7 were very much into the wind. You could see that the 3rd's have plenty of ability but at present just lack a little confidence in everyone's own ability. Kev brought the chaps together very well which was demonstrated by having Brighton go from 140 odd for two to 8 down at the end and only 201 on the board, there was belief in the field, catches started to be taken and even R Cool followed that by having a direct hit run out. Confidence in the field was returning. We felt this was very gettable, all we needed was partnerships. The batting started very cautiously which seemed to show the confidence bit. The innings never really got going and regular wickets kept falling. After a patient start Lloyd Crathern showed his ability by playing some great drives and placement. The whole batting just seemed to lack confidence. the ability is VERY much there. Having never batted with Lloyd before it was clear he has plenty of ability just needed the belief. Everyone has the ability in the team. Results will come I have no doubt. The confidence will return. Kevin led the team well, focusing on the team ethic, supporting each other. Even being at the other end of the ground all the players were there to watch and contribute to the game. Although the scores didnt reflect it, the 3's are very close to winning. You'd be more worried if anyone felt we were not good enough but we very much are good enough. Form is one ball away, its one wicket, one catch, one boundary away. everyone in the team has the ability we just need the belief we can deliver. If Kev keeps the ethics going it will come. Two wins would put the 3rd's mid table so there is plenty to be hopeful about.
In the meantime Lloyd carried on what he did last year whenI couldn't play, WIN. He needs to believe he can do that week in week out as he does win n a regular basis. Adam B continues to impress with the ball as he took a well deserved 5 wickets to demolish the Brighton innings for 77. Worthing made light work of the total in getting to another 30 points consolidating the position at the top of the league. If selected the Cool's can come back and support the teams continued development. It is a good time at present for the club with 4 teams top of their divisions and the 3rd's ready to launch forward. This year we must have have high hopes. Teams are winning, junior's are performing throughout the club so its a good time.
