Sidley suffer heavy defeat at Findon
The result means they are now 38 points behind second-from-bottom Pulborough at the mid-way point in the campaign.
Sidley were shot out for 135 after being put into bat. It could have been even worse because at one stage they were 65-6 before a seventh wicket partnership of 58 between Scott Woodroffe (37) and Paul Nice (35) gave them something to defend.
