Thornely says Horsham are still in the title race after wet weekend
Horsham currently lie fourth in the Premier Division but are 53 points behind top-of-the-table Roffey.
But with six games left and four of them being win/lose games, Thornely is confident they are still in the mix.

Horsham and Thornely had a frustrating weekend with their league game against Hastings being postponed without a ball being bowled and their T20 cup semi-final against Roffey abandoned after 12 overs.
Horsham make the long trip to Middleton on Saturday.
In the reverse win/lose fixture in May, these sides played out a thriller with Horsham getting home in the 49th over, winning by seven wickets.

Thornely said: “They are a good side with a few key wickets in their batting line up. We’ll have to play well to get a result there.
“We’ve had a few injuries recently which hasn’t helped selection but we have a well balanced side with key match winners that can change the game if they get on a roll.”
