Welch msde headlines in scoring 411 not out in a Willingdon total of 571 in their previous game – so Newhaven were wary of taking him and his team on last Saturday in their latest Division 7 East game.

Newhaven won the toss and decided to bat first and Daryl Tullett top-scored with 79 before being bowled by Muhammad Asfand Yar. Newhaven went onto score 258-5 in 40 overs with James Woods weighing in with an unbeaten 41.
Willingdon began their reply with Michael Trewin and Ryan Welch, Trewin went for one and there were no heroics by Welch – although he did still score a decent 42 before Jack Connors caught him off the bowling of Max Burzler.
Burzler, Nathan Withey and Tullett took three wickets apiece as Willingdon were dismissed for 194 as Newhaven won by 64 runs.
Newhaven are third, just 26 points off top spot, and visit leaders Battle on Saturday.
