Having just defeated Lewes by some ease. Haywards Heath now faced an up-hill struggle against Cuckfield in the 20/20 .

Having won the toss Skipper Nick Patterson decided to have a bat, and opened with Billy Harris and Pakistani overseas player Saeed Ajmal. However what looked a fantastic possible partnership failed, with Ajmal getting caught at cover off the bowling of Hogue. This left Cuckfield on 5/1 off 2 overs, not a great start by any means. Enter Australian Peter Widdup, who walked to the crease dragging his bat along the floor just like the great Viv Richards. With Harris and Widdup picking the score up to 32 off four overs, Haywards Heath changed the bowling and brought on a couple of spinners overseas player Sam Irvine and captain Steve Kingcome. This changed the game, with Widdup and Harris taking full advantage off some clearly non-premiership style bowling. With Widdup smashing the overseas for four huge sixes in a row, and then smashing Kingcome out of the ground for a couple more, bringing up his 50 off just 25 balls. Widdup then pointed at spinner Kingcome and then pointed towards the trees at square leg, where that very next ball he dispatched him over trees yet again. Widdup was later caught on the boundary for 68 off 32 balls. Meanwhile Harris was later controversially bowled by Kingcome. This brought Gardner and Robinson to the crease who turned ones in to two's and with some great running bought the 22 run partnership off just 13 balls to an end with being run-out from a direct hit. Robinson was then given LBW walking across his stumps trying to paddle one down to fine-leg. Richie Amer, Nick Patterson and Kristian Piolet then kept up with the run rate playing some fantastic 20/20 style shots with the run-rate still going up. Richie Amer was then caught for 11 and then Patterson Bowled for 9, which then brought Fireman Fairhall to the crease for his one bat of the year. However his quick 21 including hitting Hayden James for a huge six in to the trees kept piling the pressure on the Heath and then Piolet joining in on the action hitting some glorious drives off James. This left Cuckfield on a fantastic 191/8 off their 20.

Haywards Heath got off to a great start and with Alex Honeysett and Sam Irvine hitting fours too often. Fairhall and Patterson took a break after 5 overs with the Heath on 52. They were replaced By Rodney Candfield and Saeed Ajmal. Ajmal then dismissed Honeysett with a direct throw off his own bowling to put Cuckfield back on track. However, this bought big-hitting Hayden James to the crease who had previously hit 60 against Lewes Priory. Rodney whose next over went for two runs piled the pressure on to the Heath who tried to attack Ajmal with getting caught on the boundary by Piolet. Patto then came back on and replaced Candfield whose two overs went for 4 runs. James then sliced one off Patterson and was caught with another fantastic catch from Piolet and this was the turning point in the match. Haywards Heath then collapsed slowly with the run rate increasing. Ajmal grabbing four wickets while Billy Harris picking up two wickets and going for just 25 runs. Fairhall (1/34), Patterson (1/36) and Candfield (1/8) all getting a piece of the action. Haywards heath eventually being skittled out for 144 meaning they had been defeated by Cuckfield for second time this season.

Cuckfield now face invitation league side, Billingshurst on July 22.
