The match, at Goring Cricket Club, was played between councillors, council officers and a handful of other stand-ins, raising money for the mayor’s three charities.

A total of £150 was raised on the day for Guild Care, Worthing Mind and Worthing Alzheimer’s Society – with a generous £50 being donated by the club itself.

The match ended with a bowl-off, and a victory for the council officers, following a 78 all-out performance from the councillors.

The second innings was cancelled, due to heavy rain.
