1st XI v Findon (Home):
A relatively comfortable win for Worthing in a low scoring game at the Manor. The visitors won the toss and opted to bat first and having removed the opening pair of Matt Green (42) and Brad James (23) this looked to be a good decision as the hosts were dismissed for just 158 in 46.3 overs.
Findon's reply never got going as Mason Crane claimed 6 for 27 and Nick Ballamy 3 for 27 as the visitors collapsed to 90 all out in just 20 overs. Worthing remain fourth in the league.
Scorecard
2nd XI v Cuckfield (Away):
Tom Lund's side travelled to Cuckfield where they lost by 5 wickets but remained in the promotion places by a solitary point. Lund lost the toss and the hosts opted to bowl first. Worthing made 227 for 5 from their 53 overs with Alex Harris (52), Stuart Carter (55) and Lund (47 not out) the main contributors.
The hosts achieved their target with 11 balls to spare for the loss of just 5 wickets with Harry claiming 2 for 48 and Dave Leader 2 for 37.

3rd XI v Eastergate (Home):
A loss to league leaders Eastergate for the 3rd XI, who won the toss and elected to bowl first. Eastergate made 172 all out with Kevin Punter claiming 6 for 58 in 15 overs.
The reply stuttered to 90 all out with only Adam Bastable making more than 20 as Worthing dropped to the foot of the tale.
Scorecard

Another win for Glenn Harris' team, this time against Henfield. Worthing were asked to bat first with Harris smashing 97 in a total of 242 for 6 from 40 overs, ably supported in the main by Lloyd Crathern's 44.
Henfield were dismissed for 152 as James Belton took 3 for 38, Robson Piper 2 for 42, Sanjeev Kalra 2 for 26 and Jaynil Patel 2 for 18. Worthing remain 2nd and well placed to get promoted.

Senior Results - 31.5.14
1st XI v Findon (Away):
This will certainly go down in the annals of Worthing CC history as a classic victory snatched from the jaws of defeat; like the "Thriller In Manila" this could arguably be dubbed "The Ding-Dong in Findon", maybe.
Findon won the toss and elected to bat on a slow and stodgy wicket at Long Furlong. After a slow start for both sides Benn Challen came into the attack and finished with figures of 6 for 24, aided by Corey Altis' 2 for 42 and Luke Vinter's 1 for 16 as the hosts succumbed for 151 from 52 overs.
The reply didn't start well as Worthing slumped to 15 for 4, but a rebuilding job from Stuart Carter (16), Ian Gooding (33) and John Glover (56) got Worthing close with some excellent (mainly) running between the wickets and a little fortune as catches were dropped. Some lusty blows from Vinter (11) still left the final pair Jamie "the right-handed Lara" Piper and the injured Altis 16 more runs for the win. An enormous six over extra cover from Altis and a square drive from Piper led to a one wicket victory and 30 slightly jammy points for Vinter's men.
Scoreboard
2nd XI v Cuckfield (Home):
An easy win for Worthing against Cuckfield at the MCG by 97 runs. The visitors inserted Tom Lund's men who scored 180 for 9 with Lund scoring 54 and Brad Lewis 38 on another slow wicket due to the seemingly constant rain this season.
The Cuckfield reply never really got going as then were bundled out for 83 as Harry Dunn took 4 for 24, Martyn Swift claimed 3 for 9 after a Lazarus-like recovery from a life threatening injury whilst batting. There was a wicket each for Nick Ballamy, Shane Felton and Luke Barnes.
Scorecard
3rd XI v Eastergate (Away):
A loss against a first team is no disgrace for the Chairman's 3rd XI. Eastergate opted to bowl first upon winning the toss with Worthing finishing on 153 all out. Chairman Dunn scored 31, Kevin Punter 35, Michael Hodnett 19, Justin Nash 15 and Adam Bastable 12.
Eastergate reached their target for the loss of 5 wickets, one a-piece for Punter, Jack Dunn, Jack Westlake, Robson Piper and Nash.
Scorecard
4th XI v Henfield (Home):
Having won the toss Glenn Harris asked Henfield to bat and bowled them out for 124 as Dan Turner bagged 4 for 28, Greg Harris 3 for 29, Josh Quintais 2 for 17 and Lloyd Osland 1 for 12.
Harris' men made 125 for the loss of 6 wickets with Lloyd Crathern and Neil Harris both hitting 24, the latter not out and Osland 52 to maintain their strong start to the season.

Senior Results - 17.8.13
1st XI v Cuckfield (Away):
This game was blighted by the weather and a poor surface. Having won the toss Darryl Rebbetts elected to field and Worthing found early success with a wicket each for Malcolm Lake and Luke Vinter leaving the hosts 19 for 2, but they recovered with some very intelligent batting from overseas Big Bash player Cameron Borgas (Cricinfo Profile Here) who scored a classy hundred whilst wearing a number of deliveries. Benn Challen picked up two wickets as Cuckfield declared on 225 for 4 with the rain beginning to fall leading to an extended tea break.
Worthing's innings got off to a poor start with the early loss of Matt Green, but Lake hit 4 fours from an over before the rain came again leading to another hour's delay. Despite attempting to continue, the conditions were made very clear as Andy Reid literally went flying whilst attempting a single and the umpires abandoned the game giving both sides 10 points each and hope of escaping relegation for Worthing.
Scorecard
2nd XI v Cuckfield (Home):
Tom Lund opted to bowl having won the toss with Cuckfield amassing 201 for 5. Jamie Piper bowled well in taking 2 for 24 and there was a wicket each for Martyn Swift, Harry Dunn and Ollie Rogers.
A short delay for rain then came about but only 4 overs were lost as Worthing reached their target with the loss of just 2 wickets with the main contributor being Gary Tester who both won the game and notched up his century with the same shot. Ollie Rogers (33) and Lund (32*) contributed towards the win.
Scorecard
3rd XI v Dome Mission (Away):
The 3rd XI was cancelled due to travellers having pitched up on the Dome Mission home ground.
Scorecard
4th XI v Porstlade (Home):
The 4th XI enjoyed a win to keep up their hopes of sneaking into a promotion spot. Adam Bastable won the toss and opted to bowl first, skittling Portslade for just 147. Andy Culver took 3 for 32, James Belton 3 for 42, Robson Piper 2 for 15 and a wicket a-piece for Sanjeev Kalra and Rob Whittington.
The reply reached its target with 6 wickets down. Glenn Harris hit 69 and Kalra 22 not out in just under 33 overs.

Senior Results - 15.6.13
1st XI v Cuckfield (Home):
A much needed win for the first eleven against newly promoted Cuckfield at the MCG. Having won the toss Worthing opted to bat and a typically whirlwind start saw Michael Gould hit 49 before getting out in the eleventh over. Matthew Green (22) gave him support and Malcolm Lake hit his first half-century for the club with a solid 67.

The reply started well as Lake took a wicket in the first over but after that spin dominated with Challen claiming 6 for 28 and young spinner Nick Oxley 3 for 49 as the visitors fell well short of their target and were all out for 160 and a much needed 30 points.

When Worthing CC Played Against Saeed Ajmal
As England struggle to contain the spin of Pakistan's Saeed Ajmal, I thought it was worth reminding members that Worthing CC coped much better with the off spinner than England's top order when he played for Stirlands against us in the league.
Below are the links to the two games in the 2005 season:
Home Fixture
Away Fixture
You will spot that he only got 0 for and 3 for, plus Ollie Rogers got a century.
On a side note, Worthing opener Dominic Clapp also got a century against him whilst playing for Brighton & Hove the following season when Ajmal played for Cuckfield to following season. The link is below:

I don't know what all the fuss is about!

6.8.11 - 1st XI v Cuckfield
Not the best performance from the side with a few key players missing (Michael gould, Luke Vinter and Andy Reid) in this fixture against fellow promotion chasing Cuckfield. The visitors won the toss and elected to bat, getting off to a great start finishing up with 249 for 5 declared from their 53 overs. Benn Challen took 2 for 78 whilst Andy Lutwyche, Nick Gunning and skipper for the game Darryll Rebbetts all took a wicket each. Some dubious fielding did the home side few favours.
Worthing's reply was a stuttering affair as only Challen (22) and Brad James (38) offering any real resistance, although under 16 Brad Lewis batted very well in his 52 ball 6. Worthing closed on 136 for 8 in what was a forgettable day at the office.
Worthing still top the league by 40+ points but need to get back to winning ways to assure promotion.

4.6.11 - 1st XI v Cuckfield
A "Clash of the Titans" at the top of Division 2 in Cuckfield, where the visitors triumphed with some aplomb. Clearly a severe water shortage in the area (presumably Ardingly reservoir has dried up) meant a pitch that resembled the Gobi desert, with Peter O'Toole (he was Lawrence in "Lawrence of Arabia" people - keep up) making a fleeting appearance as the batsmen took guard.
Having won the toss acting Cuckfield skipper Nick Patterson opted to bat, and was left wondering whether he'd made the best choice as ball one rose sharply off a length and rebounded off a length to 2nd slip. There weren't too many misbehaving deliveries but it was clear to all at the game that spin was going to be a potent weapon. What with a howling gale blowing directly down the hill making trying to run into it difficult at best.
Sure enough Worthing destroyers in chief were spin twins Benn Challen (5 for 46) and Nick Gunning (4 for 37) as the hosts slumped to 163 all out.
A change in the order saw Andy Reid partnering Ben Chambers at the top of the order, with the latter running himself out, but the diminutive Reid weathered the opening storm to take himself onto 39 before top-edging a pull of Patterson, a shot that had brought him plenty of joy throughout his innings.
Challen (76*) and Darryll Rebbetts (36*) saw the visitors over the line with just over 8 overs to spare.
This win takes Worthing back to the top of the table at the expense of their opponents.
