Cricket news
The U14A boys travelled to Tiffin School and displayed some excellent, high-quality batting, amassing a score which looked set to take the game. However, Lancing won by a comfortable 26 runs.
The U15A boys were put into bat on a slow, sticky wicket at Worth, where scoring was difficult due to a large boundary and heavy outfield. Lancing reached 113 for 7 from 20 overs. A disciplined bowling effort led by Harry S, George O-H and Will S, ensured a narrow 6-run victory.
And finally in the U15 girls' match, it was Lancing who won the toss and elected to bat first. A superb half-century from Bibi W powered the team to an impressive 137 from 15 overs. In response, Ardingly were restricted to just 67, thanks to a disciplined bowling effort notably from Purdey M, who delivered a remarkable spell of 2 overs, 1 wicket for just 2 runs.
