Andy Lutwyche comments on Worthing Cricket Club – 1st XI :
1st XI v Hastings & St Leonards Priory:
The 1st XI only play in nail-biters! A win by just 3 runs at Horntye Park in Hastings saw the team climb to second in the table and continue their unbeaten start. Having won the toss Darryll Rebbetts opted to have a bat the visitors found two-paced pitch that offered the spinners a decent amount of encouragement. A few got a start but failed to make Hastings pay, namely Andy Reid (11), Malcolm Lake (32), Rebbetts (37), Alex Harris (20) and Ian Gooding (24) as Worthing limped to 156 all out.
A slightly wayward start from Worthing with the ball allowed Hastings to get off to a decent start but then wickets fell in clusters as Lake (2 for 29) made inroads. The turning point (pun intended) came when young left arm spinner Harry Dunn was introduced to the attack. Making his debut Dunn claimed 5 for 17 from 10 overs and left Luke Vinter to wrap up the tail with 2 late wickets to finish with figures of 3 for 28.
A famous victory that led to Vinter waving his shirt in the air as the rest of the team chased him!
