With James Iago absent Jack Metters was given the captaincy for this week. He did the first bit very well as he won an important toss on a very slow and low wicket as he elected to bowl. Graham Manser opened from the Hill End taking 3-13 of 11 overs with Felix Jordan bowling pace from the Road End where he picked up 2 early wickets as the visitors were 20-5. Harry Metters then replaced Felix picking up 3 wickets with Sam Mannings grabbing 2 wickets as he replaced Manser. This led Haywards Heath to be 61 all out off 29 overs. Findon then went out to bat with no break for tea starting well with an opening partnership of 18 before Bradley Bridson was dismissed.
