Elliot Hooper and Jed O'Brien took seven wickets between them as Hastings beat Goring-by Sea to stay top of the 1st Central Sussex Cricket League Division 2.

Hastings went into the game while Goring were at the bottom of the table - and the game went to form with Hastings dominating from the start.

Adam Barton and John Morgan reduced Goring to 32-3 before the spinners took over. Leading wicket taker Hooper took 4-29 while O'Brien finished with 3-13.
