After last week's abysmal batting display against Preston Nomads, Littlehampton corrected their trouble with the willow at home to Bexhill on Saturday, only to miss out on a deserved victory when they allowed the East Sussex side to escape from 23-4 and 100-8 to claim a draw at 150-8.

Opening bowlers Stuart Stoneham and Gary Tester had pierced their way through the top of the Bexhill batting with two wickets each and then Adam Tester yorked hard-hitting Matthew Blackman for 16.

But the Phillimore brothers '“ Martin and Steve '“ proved to be to great a stumbling block for Littlehampton to overcome. After 80 minutes of solid defence, Martin eventually pulled one off Chris Hanks to Richard Vokes at square-leg.
