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.

Match Reports - 10.5.14
To save me saying this in every report, it was blowing a gale!
1st XI v Middleton (Away):
Water had blown under the covers so a delayed start would mean a late finish on a very two-paced pitch. Luke Vinter lost the toss and the hosts gave Worthing first use of the bat. Sam Jones, opening in the absence of the injured Andy Reid, compiled a watchful but vital 55, with support from Ian Gooding (19), but the innings was given impetus by John Glover who smashed 57 at number 7 as Worthing made 176 for 9 from 53 overs.
The Middleton reply was entirely about Sean Heather, who made 100 in what is likely to become a blueprint for Middleton's season, as the hosts reached their target with 4 balls to spare of their allotted 44 overs after a short rain delay. The five wickets fell to Corey Altis (2 for 50), Luke Vinter, Nick Oxley and Benn Challen.
Scorecard
2nd XI v Middleton (Home):
The new covers at the Manor worked their magic although with a low scoring draw, perhaps it would have been better for both sides had they not. Tom Lund won the toss and inserted the opposition who amassed 167 for 8 with Martyn Swift claiming 3 for 43, Shane Felton 2 for 17 and Harry Dunn 2 for 40.
The response was led by Gareth Challen who made 50 and Alex Harris with 44 but finished on 152 for 7 and less points for each side than had the game been rained off.
Scorecard
3rd XI v Crawley Nayee (Home):
The visitors won the toss and elected to "bowl", with the 15 degree limit on elbow movement introduced by the ICC to allow Murali to bowl being pushed to the limit and beyond. Worthing were in big trouble at 72 for 6 before Marc Hinton smashed 73 and Justin Nash 44 not out which took Tim Dunn's men to 206 all out from 48.2 overs.
The visitors reached their target in just under 33 overs for the loss of four wickets as Jack Dunn took 2 for 30, Jack Westlake and Adam Squires claiming a victim each.

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 Matches - 28.7.12
The first eleven got a draw against 9th placed Bexhill at the MCG, just failing to bowl out the opposition in what would have been a precious win. Worthing stay seventh in the table having been put into bat by the visitors. Andy Reid hit 75 and Brad James 31 in an opening stand of 117. Stuart Carter also hit 25 as Bexhill bowled a series of javelins in a bid to restrict scoring rather than bowl Worthing out as the home side notched up 205 for 8.
Bexhill's batting relies heavily on two players and once they were out a draw was the only thing on their minds as they stonewalled just 159 for 8with Benn Challen taking 4 for 42 and Mason Crane 3 for 49 as they proved that there was spin in the pitch. Andy Lutwyche took the other wicket.
The second eleven got a vital win to take them out of the relegation places at Three Bridges.The home side hit 272 for 5 with Martyn Swift taking 2 for 37, Shane Felton, Harry Dunn and Gareth Challen all taking a wicket a-piece. Worthing reached their target having lost 6 wickets, with Alex Harris hitting 112, ably supported by Justin Watts (37) and Tim Lund (42).
The third eleven lost at Barns Green and sit just above the relegation places. The hosts got 22 all out with the spin of Sanjeev Kalra (3 for 50) and Adam Squires (3 for 41) the main threat. Kevin Punter took 2 wickets, Joe Westlake and Greg Harris a wicket each. It was the batting that let the side down as they were bowled out for 186 having had a good opening stand of 99 between Lloyd Crathern (38) and Tom Chambers (40).
The fourth eleven drew against Goring 3rds at the Manor. Goring batted first and notched up 228 for 2 with Dave Leader taking both wickets for 23 runs. Worthing ended on 191 for 9 in what can only be described as a nailbiter as Jamie Piper and Jack Westlake kept out the goring bowlers at the end. Adam Bastable hit 85 in the stand out innings for the home side.
Availability meant that the 5th team scratched.

Results - 26.5.12
The torrid start to season 2012 continued for a second week as all senior teams lost their games.
The First eleven travelled to fellow promotees Bexhill on a sunny but very breezy afternoon. Having won the toss Worthing elected to bat, posting 225 for 9 from their 58 overs, a score slightly below par on a lightning outfield. Darryl Rebbetts top scored with 55, as Benn Challen (41), Stuart Carter (48) and Andy Lutwyche with yet another rear-guard action hitting a run-a-ball 26*, offered support.
Bexhill chased the total in 46 overs thanks to their batsmen going on to get bigger scores, but Luke Vinter took 3 for 56, Challen and Gunning - the spin twins - taking a wicket each. The second loss by 5 wickets in a row!
The Seconds played host to Three Bridges and racked up 237 for 4, with Tim Dunn and Alex Harris both hitting half centuries. Bridges reached their total just two wickets down, although the young Martyn Swift bowled very well on a batsman friendly wicket.
The Thirds hosted Barns Green 1st XI and batted first, but despite plenty getting starts, no-one managed to score more than Josh Goldsmith's 26 in a total of 171 for 9. Barns Green reach their target six wickets down in the 38th over with skipper Kevin Punter taking 3 for 43, Mayur Patel 2 for 47 and Joe Westlake 1 for 22.
The 4th XI went to Goring and bowled first at Fernhurst. Goring made 226 for 7 with Jamie Piper taking 2 for 28 and Luc Hinton 2 for 11. Sam Wookey, Adam Squires and Dave McAdam-Freud all took a wicket each. In reply the visitors were bowled out for just 127 with only McAdam-Freud (25) and Squires (29*) making any real headway.
The Fifth eleven played host Broadbridge Heath 2nd XI and the visitors made 213 for 5 from their 40 overs. There was a wicket each for James Belton, Harry Reeves, Glenn Harris and senior debutant Jakob Heryet. Unfortunately Worthing only made 165 all out, with Glenn Harris hitting 77 and his brother Greg 39.
The only way is up, as Yazz said in 1988!

Seniors: 19.5.2012
The weather was finally kind enough to allow the teams to actually play for the first time this season, and perhaps as a result of rustiness the outcomes were not as favourable as they could have been.
The 1st XI hosted Horsham and were stuck into bat by the visitors. A solid opening stand between Ben Chambers (12) and debut-maker John Glover (20) was followed by a mini collapse as Worthing went from 40 for 0 to 44 for 4. Darryll Rebbetts (39) and second debut man Ian Gooding (27) steadied the ship before Stuart Carter (17) and a swashbuckling innings from Andy Lutwyche (25 not out) got the home side up to a competitive 178 all out in their 58 overs.
Horsham made the target having lost 5 wickets in the 48th over of their innings. Third debut boy Gary Tester chipped in with 3 for 33 whilst Ollie Rogers and Benn Challen took a wicket each.
The 2nd XI were at Horsham and batted first making 200 for 9 from their 53 overs. Tim Dunn (52) adn Brad James (55 not out) both scored half-centuries, ably supported by Dave Marshallsay (35) and John Kaye (21).
Horsham made their target in the 45th over and 7 wickets down, despite Harry Dunn taking 5 for 80 from 17.2.overs, with a wicket each for Paul Westlake and Nick Gunning.
The 3rd XI went to Dome Mission and a decidedly wet track, where the home side inserted Kevin Punter's young side. They made 116 all out from 37.4. overs with ther stand out inning being that of Bradley Lewis who made 32.
Dome Mission 1st XI made the target just 4 wickets downs, with scalps for Martyn Swift (1 for 7 off 7 overs), skipper Punter (2 for 21) and Harvey von Biel (1 for 10).
Worthing 4th XI played Brighton Electricity at the Manor, and ended up holding on for the draw. The visitors elected to bat first and rattled up 289 for 5 in 46 overs, including a few lost balls. Lloyd Osland's side stuck to their task well with Robson Piper taking 2 for 40, Sam Wookey 2 for 50 and Osland a wicket himself.
In reply Worthing reached 152 for 5, with Jack Dunn's vigil of a 151 ball 34 (he must have been watching Chanderpaul), skipper Osland's 63 and Andy Culver's 19.
The 5th XI travelled to Aldwick 2s where they won the toss and stuck the hosts in. After 40 overs the visitors had made 247 for 9 and declared. Greg Harris picked up 4 for 26, Josh Quintais 2 for 36 and a wicket a-piece for Harry Reeves, James Belton and Glenn Harris.
Worthing crashed to 85 all out with only Adam Bastable (17), Greg Harris (21) and Harry Reeves (14 not out) making double figures.
The 6th XI were let down by a lot of late drop-out for various, frankly lame, reasons on the whole.

Result - 12.5.12
Only the 4th XI played and wished they hadn't having lost to East Preston "2nd" XI by 9 wickets. Ironically EP's 1st XI were rained off on the same day, but whatever makes you happy I suppose.
The forecast is better for next Saturday, so here's hoping that all the games are played!
