Miles (14) was first out, which brought Rohan Ryan to the crease as he and Wood set about piling on the runs.

After reaching his 50, Wood (57) fell tamely before a 50-run partnerships between Ryan (38) and Darryl Rebbetts (33) led the hosts into the final 15 overs with 250 looking on the cards.

But after both fell off the bowling of Graham Merritt-Blann, Worthing struggled to push home the initiative. They collapsed from 154-3 to 211 all out.

In reply, Broadwater looked to be cruising at 79-1, but fine spells from Worthing duo Shane Felton and Harry Dunn turned the game around.

Felton finished with figures of 3-29, while Dunn picked up 5-16 to bowl Broadwater out for 105.

Worthing captain Harry Dunn said: “Another impressive performance from us and always good to beat a local rival.

“I was surprised when I lost the toss and they put us in as it looked a lovely day for batting.

“We started brilliantly and our openers really put us on the front foot, AJ especially with his 57. We didn’t kick on as well as we’d hoped but good contributions from Rohan, Darryl and Kirk got us to a respectable 211.

“In Broadwater’s innings they started really well but we knew from when we batted that pace off made it difficult to score. We fought back amazingly from 70 odd for 1 to bowl them out for 105. A very enjoyable 30 points in conclusion and I hope we can keep this momentum going.”
