Broadwater won the toss and batted and were grateful to Benn Challen as his 51 helped them to a score of 180. Paul O'Sullivan (29) and Alex Halls (24) were the others to pass 20 as Nathan Perry took 3-18 and Chris Heberlein 3-20 for Littlehampton.

The reply was not straightforward. An opening stand of 67 between James Askew (50) and Thomas Lee (24) put Littlehampton well on their way but Alex Halls took 4-49 and Challen 2-41 to check their progess. The visitors eventually got home by two wickets thanks to 31 by Rachad Forde and 32 not out from Perry. Littlehampton are fifth, Broadwater eighth.
