Even with three wickets from skipper Huw Williams and a 50 from James Fellows, Lewes Priory’s quality top order took the game away from Isfield, handing them their first defeat of the season.

Despite a good start with the ball, Priory’s top order piled on the runs. Having wickets in hand enabled them to go hard at the end, Priory smashed 203 from the last 20 overs giving Isfield a difficult chase of 292. Williams picked up three wickets towards the end and Halsey was Isfield’s stand-out bowler (1-34)

Despite making a decent start, with Fellows picking up his second 50 of the season, 292 was always a little too much for Isfield.

At 115-1 at drinks Isfield still needed nine an over, something that with good bowling and excellent field placement meant was always out of reach. Contributions from Tungate (42), Thornicroft (26), Halsey (16) and Starnes (16 not out) meant Isfield reach a respectable 225-9.
