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.
Scorecard
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.
Scorecard
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.

Senior Results - 24.5.14 and 25.5.14
Heavy overnight rain put paid to all bar the 1st XI match on Saturday which only survived due to the deployment of the new covers.
1st XI v Crowhurst Park (reduced to a 20/20) - 24.5.14 (Home):
The visitors won the toss and elected to bat on a slow but good looking surface. A solid start before a mix-up between the batsmen led to a Stuart Carter/Andy Lutwyche induced run out. Lutwyche then took the key wicket of Kellen Powell via a steepling Benn Challen catch before Park were held to 111 for 6 from their 20 overs, Luke Vinter claiming 2 for 16 and Nick Oxley 1 for 17.
The reply was rarely in doubt as Matt Green made 60 not out, Andy Reid 18 and Benn Challen 11 as the hosts got over the line with 5 balls to spare and stay in mid-table in the league.
Scorecard
3rd XI v Clayton & Belgrave Adelaide (WSIL T20 Cup) - 25.5.14 (at Horsham CC):
A tight game at Horsham saw Tim Dunn's team go down by 5 wickets with just one ball to spare. Worthing were asked to bat first and made 110 all out in 18.2 overs with Josh Goldsmith top scoring scoring 27 not out, skipper Dunn 26, Glenn Harris 13 and Michael Hodnett 12.
A valiant effort with the ball made life difficult for Adelaide as Harry Dunn claimed 2 for 17, Jack Dunn 1 for 29 and Adam Squires 1 for 21, but some solid economical bowling from young bowlers Jack Westlake, Robson Piper and not-so-young bowler Kevin Punter whose 4 overs conceded just 6 runs.

Match Reports - 3.5.14
A successful start to the 2014 season!
1st XI v Stirlands - T20 Cup (Home):
Having won the toss, new skipper Luke Vinter opted to bat against a generally inexperience Stirlands attack. Matt Green scored 54 in 47 balls and his partner Andy Reid scored 46 from 42 balls. With debutant Sam Jones making 18 in his first innings after his move from Portslade, Worthing set the visitors a competitive 137 to win.
In truth Stirlands never looked like getting close and finished on 60 for 9 with two wickets each for Aussie Corey Altis, Jamie Piper and Mason Crane, with Vinter and Nick Oxley claiming one each too. Progress made into round two, with opponents yet to be announced.

Scorecard
4th XI v Felbridge & Sunnyside 3rd XI (Home):
The visitors won the toss and elected to bat but were soon in trouble as the opening bowlers Robson Piper (3 for 23) and Greg Harris (3 for 13) ripped the heart out of a youthful batting line up. Sanjeev Kalra, Adam Bardouleau and Alex Andreson also claimed a victim each as Felbridge managed just 108 for 9 from their 40 overs.

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.

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.

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.

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.
