Leaders Broadwater and Chilt are already well out in front of the rest in the table both on a maximum of 90 points and 26 ahead of third-placed Findon 2nd.

The league has three 1st XIs and seven 2nd XIs with both the early pacesetters thrashing their first three opponents.

Broadwater hammered the only other 1st XI - Crawley - at the Green on Saturday whilst West Chilt’s game followed an identical path to the first two.

They racked up a huge total of 265-7 against Worthing 2nd after losing the toss and being inserted, before bowling the position out cheaply.

Captain Tim Jarvis made 89 and Reuben Taylor 72 in a 152-run partnership before the bowlers set to work.

The returning Jake Hodgson, mixing a few straight deliveries to go with the seven wides he sent down, took 5-39 from his nine overs. His fifth fifer for the club and the first for three years. Charlie Davies also claimed 3-24 in the attack.

The opposition made exactly 100 in response to Chilt’s 265-7.

Chilt visit Goring to play their 2nd XI at the weekend.
