This was an important match for Billingshurst to win as it would keep us in touch with Ifield who were leading the league up until the end of the game.  Billingshurst had a slow and steady start to their innings which was then boosted once Shane Maggs came to the wicket and along with Mike Burroughs, the pair managed to put on an impressive 153 runs for the 3rd wicket, putting us well on course for the massive total of 260 from 46.3 overs in 182 minutes. Mike was run out on 97, going for a third run, after hitting the ball towards the boundary, but the strong arm of Mark Rasmussen was to be his downfall. Billingshurst's order then collapsed as we lost the last 5 wickets for just 38 runs.
The highlight of the day must be the huge 6 Mike hit over mid wicket, just missing his parent who were sitting on the boundary. Shane Maggs batted the best he has done so far this season and his innings was worth the watch. Yet again Will Gooda played an important innings, seeing off the opening bowlers from Arundel, including Mark Rasmussen.  The overall mood of the game was not dampened one bit by the presence of Mark Rasmussen who ended up  claiming 5 wickets for Arundel.  Billingshurst are back on top of the league with a slender 3 point lead over Ifield, who are our next opponents on the 30th July
