An improved performance but a game that felt like a bit of a waste for the first eleven.
St James won the toss and inserted their visitors only to see Worthing pile on 239 for 6 declared after 52 overs on a slightly two paced wicket. Michael Gould hit a quickfire 54, Ben Chambers a fluent 79, Darryll Rebbetts a solid 40 and John Kaye blasted 36 not out including 18 from the final over.
St James started brightly but never really looked like going for the target of 240, ending up on 188 for 8, meaning that they only managed to get 6 points from the game compared to Worthing 14. Ollie Rogers bowled well in claiming 3 for 32 and Ben Challen 3 for 48, with Andy Lutwyche and Luke Vinter taking a wicket apiece. The veterans of the side are worth a mention as John Kaye took a lightning stumping off Rogers and Andy Lutwyche took a flying left-handed catch at wide mid-off.
The result still leaves Worthing at the top of the league 43 points ahead of Bexhill in second and 52 points ahead of Glynde in third with 3 games to play.

11.4.11 - 1st XI v St James
Another victory against fellow promotion contenders St James saw Worthing ease to victory by 87 runs on a wicket made tough to score quickly on by some overnight rain. St James won the toss and inserted their hosts. Worthing made 181 for 9 with contributions from Benn Challen (37), Darryll Rebbetts (34), Andy Reid (34) and John Kaye (29). It would have been more had it not been for a superb fielding performance from the visitors who must have saved well over 20 runs.
The St James reply was bizarre as it was ridiculous. Dangerman Raza Ali was superbly caught by John Kaye one handed of Luke Vinter on just 4 and it was downhill from their as numbers 3, 4 and 5 tried to slog their way to victory, unsuccessfully. Vinter went on to claim 3 for 42 and Andy Lutwyche who took 5 for 32 as St James collapsed to just 94 all out. Worthing's fielding was on a par with their opponents with great catches taken by Bradley James at mid-off and Michael Gould at slip.
Worthing go into next week's game against newly promoted local rivals Goring on a high.
