Skipper Harry Towler (28) and Ed Coombs (11) had set up the innings with a 34 run opening partnership followed by 27 from Jethro Menzies but Anderson was the rock in the middle order and with 17 not out by Jack Palser Ansty were happy with their total.

Jake Wilson took 3-31 with two wickets each from Jethro Menzies and Charlie Rutter. Tim Hambridge opened Bexhill’s innings and proved a difficult wicket to take but was finally caught by Coombs off Anderson for 63. At 138-4 off 37 overs the game was in the balance with Malcolm Johnson striking 54 before he was run out by Menzies. This was the wicket that sealed the win for the visitors.

2nd XI: A fine opening partnership of 151 by Jonny Young (86) and George Martin (45) sealed a win over Glynde & Beddingham by 106 runs.
