FADING LIGHT and a tight spell of spin bowling by Saints' left-armer Henry Ledden just robbed Steyning of a victory in their Sussex League Premier game on Saturday.

Chasing a St James score of 214-8, Steyning were going well at 147-1 and 15 overs left with James Carpenter and Giles Haywood at the crease.

Haywood, the more fluent of the two, was then bowled by Ledden for 56, but Steyning were still in the box seat, needing a touch over five an over for victory.
