Blackheath's Chris Willetts under pressure from Ryan Minter as Canterbury's keeper Simon Smith and the slips wait for a chance at Polo Farm on Saturday

Richard Clinton's mammoth innings of 162 not out was not enough to help Bromley beat Bickley Park in Kent League Premier Division on Saturday.

The opener hit 20 fours and three sixes in his 169-ball innings and shared in a 165-run second-wicket partnership with Miguel Barbosa (64) as the hosts posted 269-4 from 55 overs.

However the visitors were defiant in reply with the top four all scoring 35 or more and an unbeaten 24 from No.7 Michael Ridley staved off the threat of defeat and steered Park to 202-8 and a losing draw.

James Hands took 4-29 in a suffocating 14-over spell to help Blackheath overcome Canterbury by 49 runs at Polo Farm,

Jamal Patterson cracked 50 as the visitors reached 179-9 from their 55 overs with Justin Macvicar and Ryan Minter taking three wickets apiece.

While James Lilley scored 43 in reply, none of his team-mates reached 20 and Canterbury were dismissed for just 125, with Hands polishing off the tail.

Charlie Hemphrey fell just four runs short of a swashbuckling century as Hartley CC were held to a winning draw at home against Bexley.

James Hockley (55) and Dan Stickels (61) put on 105 for the opening Hartley wicket before Hemphrey came in and smashed seven fours and six sixes before being caught off the bowling of Min Patel going for his century.

Hartley eventually closed on 283-8 off 55 overs, a total which the visitors never looked like reaching, despite Greg Bain's 46 and George Wells' 43, as they closed on 160-6.

Teenage spinner Jack Laraman took 6-46 and Chris Piesley hit an unbeaten century to steer Lordswood to a big win at Beckenham.

Raza Ali Dar amassed a patient 92 not out for Becks and Duncan Spencer added 41, but the last eight batsman added just 25 runs between them as 15-year-old Laraman produced a devastating 13-over spell.

Piesley led the assault on the target, firing 17 fours in an unbeaten 107 as Lordswood cruised to their target for the loss of just two wickets.

An unbroken 157-run fourth-wicket stand helped Sevenoaks Vine record a thumping seven-wicket win against Tunbridge Wells.

Gregor Paterson (58) and Chris Williams (44) helped steer Wells to 233-9 from their 55 overs, with Tom Parsons and Fabien Cowdrey collecting four wickets apiece.

Cowdrey led the reply with 44 before Oliver Howick smashed 102 off as many balls with 12 fours and two sixes, with Chris Hammond (74 not out) at the other end steering Vine home for the loss of just three wickets.
