Horley skipper Charlie Robins won the toss and elected to bowl first, but his team didn’t get off to the best of starts with silly mistakes and inconsistent fielding costing them early runs.

Only two wickets were taken before drinks courtesy of Charlie Robins and Jonathan Barnett, but Horley came out a different team after the short break, taking wickets at a steady rate.

Sam Remfry came in at three and chipped away at the total, scoring 38 before being caught.

He had help from Andrew Burbidge (17) and Matt Ware (18), but nobody else offered up much resistance until the skipper Robins had a little cameo towards the end of the innings, making 21 batting at nine.
