DROPPED CHANCES COST STEYNING DEAR

STEYNING'S best batting performance of the year on Saturday did not bring their second victory of the season after dropped chances in the field cost them a possible victory.

They had Bridges 230-6 at the close but that was after Bridges' seventh-wicket pair of Nick Creed and Ian Church had added 85. Creed hit 53 not out and Church an unbeaten 32. The pairing gave Steyning only one chance, Church with six overs to go. Had it struck, a Steyning victory may have been in sight with Bridges tailend next in.
