Broadwater Cricket Club served up a faultless performance on their way to a crushing 324-run Sussex League Division 4 West triumph over Pagham 2nd XI on Saturday.

Openers Graham Waller (117) and Samuel Hudson (151) - equalling a club record individual score - shared an opening wicket stand of 296 as Broadwater posted a remarkable 366-2 off 45 overs.

Skipper Nigel Waller used just two bowlers with Broadwater wrapping up victory in no time.

James Iago (5-20) and Fitzroy Hodges (5-21) tore through Pagham’s batting line up and they were bundled out for just 42 from 15 overs in the chase.

Captain Nigel Waller could not have asked for anymore from his side and said: “It was a pretty comprehensive victory.

“Graham (Waller) and Sam (Hudson) batted superbly putting on just shy of 300 for the first wicket. Sam managed to equal Paul O’Sullivan’s league club record score of 151.

“Joel (Lewis) then came in and smashed a quickfire 40 not out to take us to a huge score.
