Pagham v Steyning

Pagham’s season is up and running with an emphatic win over Steyning.

Steyning won the toss and decided to field but Pagham got off to a good start with Will Rolls (75) and Chris Hayden (26) putting on 72 for the first wicket.

A brisk 27 from Craig Primmer saw Pagham reach 127 for two, but the familiar middle-order collapse meant that were 164 for eight with four overs left.

But a hard hiting 35 from Matt Colban ensured Pagham reached 210 for eight.

Steyning got off to a poor start with good bowling from Craig Primmer and Mike Hales.

Wicketkeeper Green took a superb one-handed catch to remove Buckley and skipper Stuart Rutter took a stunning slip catch off brother Sean to remove Lamb.

Only McNiff (43) showed any resistance to the consistent and hostile Pagham bowling.

Craig Primmer finished with four for 25, Jo Metz three for five and Sean Rutter two for 24 as the hosts ended 113-run winners.
