Sidley fall short in run chase

Sidley, who narrowly lost out in another close-fought contest at Bexhill in their opening game the previous week, were just 12 runs short of beating visiting Roffey.

"We were unlucky not to win," said Sidley captain Eddie Daniels, whose brother, Jake, made his 1st XI debut. "We just ran out of overs really, but I was very pleased with the performance to be honest. They probably put on 20 more runs than we should have let them, but we were pleased to have restricted them to less than 200. I thought it was an excellent bowling performance. Peter King (who took 4-38 off 17 overs) bowled very well and the other bowlers supported him really well.
