1st XI v Ifield (Away):
Worthing were asked to bat first on what looked a bit of a shirt front at Ifield. Openers Andy Reid made 80 and Matt Green 42, with important contributions from Corey Altis (57 not out), which included 5 sixes at the end and Ian Gooding (42) to finish on 230 for 6 declared after 50 overs, the declaration made in order to give more of a chance to bowl Ifield out.
The hosts reached their target with 4 balls to spare and 6 wickets down as Jamie Piper claimed 2 for 44 and Benn Challen 2 for 57, with Luke Vinter and Altis taking a wicket each. Despite the loss Worthing closed the gap on second place in the league.

Worthing arrived at their target for the loss of 5 wickets with Bradley Lewis carrying his bat for 72 not out, Josh Wood (19), Leader (23) and Lloyd Osland (15 not out) also contributed as there were 3 ducks in the innings.

Senior Results - 27.7.2013
There were only two games this weekend as the 3rd XI and 4th XI both had free weeks.
1st XI v East Grinstead (Away):
Another loss and another lack of runs led to another defeat for Worthing at East Grinstead on Saturday. With heavy showers forecast the hosts won the toss and elected to bat on what looked a good batting track. Worthing's bowlers kept their opponents on a tight rein with some disciplined bowling, limiting EG to 241 for 7 from their 58 overs, with only a short interruption for a light shower. Matt Green was the pick of the bowlers claiming 4 for 43, and there was a wicket each for Jamie Piper, Luke Vinter and Andy Lutwyche.
In reply only four Worthing batsmen reached double figures in what seems a habitual collapse. Green scored 18, Michael Gould top scored with 66, Ian Gooding maintained his good run of form with 44 and Lutwyche hit 18 at the end as Worthing fell for 182, batting in near darkness and rain for the final 10 to 20 overs of the game, a period which one umpire described as "ridiculous" out in the middle, but didn't deem it "ridiculous" enough to take the players off the field.
Worthing's batsmen will have to step up to the mark in a crucial game against fellow "bottom feeders" Roffey at the Manor next Saturday, and the weather cannot be blamed for the result that the hosts thoroughly deserved.

2nd XI v Ifield (Home):
Rain thwarted any result at the Manor Ground. Tom Lund won the toss and chose to field first, bowling the visitors out for 185 in 43 overs. Nick Oxley took 4 for 48, Martyn Swift 3 for 57 and Andy Reid 3 for 43.
The reply was only 8 overs old when the weather halted proceedings at 32 for 2 with Gary Tester on 17 not out.

Senior Results - 25.5.13
1st XI v East Grinstead (Home):
I think it's fair to say that the first team were brought to earth with a bump as their unbeaten start came to an end against title contenders East Grinstead at the MCG. Despite heavy overnight rain the pitch was a belter and Darryl Rebbetts opted to bowl first having won the toss.
A reasonably tight start saw Jamie Piper take his first wicket in the first eleven but Tim Davey, former Worthing overseas player Ben Cameron's protege from Australia smashed 180 as EG amassed 334 for 5 in their 58 overs, endangering the cars in the car park on more that one occasion. Matt Machan picked up to wickets, with Malcolm Lake and Matt Green taking the others.
Worthing'r reply never really got going and started in the worst possible way as Green was run out without facing and wickets fell steadily until Alex Harris (44) and Darryl Rebbetts (13) hung around. Worthing eventually succumbed for just 109.
Well and truly beaten by a better team on the day.
Scorecard
2nd XI v Ifield (Away):
The second team finally managed to complete a game at Ifield, which ended in a draw. Having been put into bat Tom Lund's side lost early wickets but the skipper himself and Gary Tester steadied the boat. Lund was out for 38 but Tester went onto score 104 which included 10 fours and 5 sixes and take the total up to 189 for 8 from 53 overs.
In reply the hosts held on for the draw at 154 for 9. Shane Felton took 3 for 53 and Luke Barnes 2 for 24, with a wicket each for Martyn Swift, Tester and Kevin Punter.

23.7.11 - 1st XI v Ifield
Another victory after the previous week's wash out for the side as they moved 84 points ahead of third position, albeit with Haywards Heath having a game in hand.
Heavy rain throughout the week meant that the groundsman had little opportunity to get onto the square but a good, if slow wicket greeted both teams. Worthing won the toss and inserted their visitors.
Accurate bowling and good fielding made runs hard to come by for struggling Ifield with Luke Vinter taking 4 for 43 from 17 unchanged overs and Andy Lutwyche 5 for 57. Benn Challen picked up the other wicket with 1 for 6 off 4 overs as Ifield crawled to 142 all out.
Worthing made heavy weather of their reply but achieved their target with six wickets down as Darryl Rebbetts (41*) and John Kaye (17*) saw them over the line. Contributions came from Dominic Clapp (34), Michael Gould (16) and Challen (21).
A free week next week but Worthing will still be well clear of the field at the top of the table.

21.5.11 - 1st XI v Ifield
Pitch gremlins got into batsmen's minds in this one. Having won the toss Ifield chose to bat first on a dry and very dusty wicket that was given very poor marks by the umpires. The home side made 146 with Tom Chambers taking 4 for 23, Benn Challen 3 for 23 and Ollie Rogers 2 for 43, with the wicket misbehaving in patches.
Worthing's batting reflected a wicket that was ridden with demons, despite Ifield's lack of usage of those particular demons. A poor batting display was 34 runs short of the victory target with batsmen generally getting themselves out cheaply. Only a 46 run partnership between Andy Lutwyche and Luke Vinter for the ninth wicket made the score respectable, Lutwyche top scoring with 27 and Vinter 15.
Some of Ifield's committee seem to think that the confidence gained from this result will give them the impetus and confidence to challenge for promotion. They are mistaken - they will end up mid-table on home form alone.
