Priory currently occupy the second and final Sussex Cricket League Division Two promotion berth, but are only seven points better off than third-placed Worthing.
Fourth-placed Three Bridges are also very much in the equation for a top two finish.

“The others have got to play each other; we’ve got no-one in the top half left to play, which is a positive thing, but they’re games we’ve still got to win and that’s the difficult thing.”
Priory beat all of their remaining opponents in the first half of the season, but have won just one of their four matches since the midway stage.
“We’ve been inconsistent in the second half and that’s something we’re going to have to put right if we’re going to get ourselves up,” Gillespie continued.

“We know we can play some very good cricket and I think we looked a really good side on Saturday, but we’ve got to make sure we’ve got that consistency.”
Priory are likely to field a similar side to last weekend when they travel to St James’s Montefiore tomorrow (Saturday).
