Houghton’s innings included 14 fours and three sixes while Hickey’s contained 13 fours and 6 sixes. This was the first double century on record for the Lodsworth club as they amassed 263 for 2.

The key figure in the Zambucan innings was Hurstpierpoint College schoolmaster Paul Hess who scored 83 not out backed by skipper Nick Straiton (38). The best of the Lodsworth bowlers was South African medium pacer Wes Sanders with 7 overs 2 for 12).
