LITTLEHAMPTON HANG ON FOR DRAW
Despite their having held on in a less-than-glamorous fashion, captain Stuart Stoneham's side never got to grips with the game after Stirlands opener Peter Cross hit a dynamic 148.
Cross's half-century took only 43 minutes, including some high-quality cuts and deflections off the back foot with one six nearly decapitating a studying team-mate in the pavilion.
