Priory one win from Sussex title

If Priory fail to triumph and closest challengers Horsham win at Chichester then the championship race will go to the final weekend of the season.

The top two both claimed convincing wins on Saturday but Priory claimed maximum 30 points while Horsham picked up 28.

Priory hit 272-9 declared against Steyning with Sam Traill leading the way with 47. Jeremy Green made 75 and Dave Browning 63 as the home side were all out for 248, the architect of the win being Andy Cornford who took 5-54.

Horsham, who lie 48 points adrift of the leaders, kept alive their outside title hopes with a six-wicket win at home to Eastbourne.
