Glynde & Beddingham CC lost a low-scoring game away to Rye last Saturday after being asked to bat on a wicket that had been dampened by a few heavy showers in the morning.

The decision to put them in proved a correct one, as Glynde were bowled out for 110 in the Division 3 East clash.

Rye found batting just as difficult as they stumbled to 53-5 and then 85-6, but were able to get home by four wickets thanks to good contributions from Tobias Farrow (40 not out) and Harry Smead with 37.

Hobden (3-44) and Will Burton Durham (2-42) picked up wickets for Glynde.

Glynde's second string lost an excellent game of cricket to Buxted Park II.
