Captain Andy Skates said “this season we’ve always been capable of bowling sides out, it was just a case of whether we had enough runs on the board.

“Luckily our bowling unit were able to drag things back in our favour after Aldwick made a strong start.

“We have plenty of match winners in our side, and it’s always good to see a number of contributions on the scorecard.”
