And despite being a so-called ‘friendly’ game, the competition between the Arun Chairman’s XI and the Arun Officers’ XI was fierce.

Arun officers, led by council chief executive Nigel Lynn, racked up an impressive score of 129 in just 35 overs, with IT manage Nigel Quinlan scoring 50 not out.

However, the chairman’s side fought back, taking the match with 130, with seven wickets in hand.

Funds were generated through ticket sales, donations and a raffle.
