1st Central Sussex Cricket League round-up

Rohit Jaghota had time to score a century for Roffey before their match against Middleton was rained off

Mark Dunford from Sussex Cricket's Official Newspaper Partner, Sussex Newspapers, rounds up Saturday's severely reduced programme in the 1st Central Sussex Cricket League...

The Sussex Cricket League's top two divisions were decimated by rain this weekend. Only one game was completed in the Premier Division as Eastbourne (179 all out) beat Brighton and Hove (166 all out) by 13 runs. Malcolm Johnson top scored for Eastbourne with 61 while Luke Bartier was in the wickets again with 4-41. In reply Oliver Collins hit 60 but it was the Jacob Smith show with the ball as he took 7-31 to bowl his side to victory.

All the other games were abandoned but there were hundreds for Nipun Karunanayake and Ollie Graham for Cuckfield against Three Bridges and Rohit Jagota hit 115 for Roffey against Middleton.

In Division 2, Bognor (65-3) beat Preston Nomads (62 all out) in the only completed game. Josh Sargeant took 6-25 for Bognor.

In the abandoned games, Will Sheffield took 5-33 for Mayfield against Chichester and Shakeem Clarke hit a 28-ball 54 for Billingshurst against Horsham.
