Worthing skipper John Kaye reflected on mission accomplished and insisted: "It's not just down to Ben Cameron."

The Australian became the first batsman to pass 1,000 runs in a Sussex League season when he rounded off the summer with a century in last week's defeat of Eastbourne.

Cameron, who also reached three figures when the sides drew at The Saffrons earlier this season, finished the campaign with 1,082 runs and was likely to be at least 300 clear of his nearest rival.

Batsman Dominic Clapp, bowler Danny Barton and wicketkeeper Kaye all figured among the top Premier Division performers in their respective roles and Tim Dunn hit a first century as newly promoted Worthing headed towards a highly respectable mid-table placing.

Kaye said: "We will finish fifth or sixth and I think we have surprised a few people.

"I would never underplay Ben's efforts because he has had a superb season but that is not the only reason we have finished in mid-table. Lots of other people have chipped in.

"We have got some great memories but the first game was pretty special when we chased 290-odd to beat Horsham. We also beat them in the cup.

"We have competed well against everybody and we will take heart from that."

Kaye hopes to continue as skipper next year and, while there will be no Cameron at the Manor, the Aussie will help the club recruit a new overseas player, ideally an all-rounder.

One man who might be back is experienced bowler Anthony Aduhene, who retired recently but came back last week with a vintage blast of 5-50.

Kaye said: "I don't know what Anthony will be doing next season but, if he commits himself, he has got a lot to offer."
