Leaders Tunbridge Wells beat St Lawrence & Highland Court in the Kent League Premier Division on Saturday.

Alex Williams top scored in the hosts’ 212 all out with 69, Charley Nash (3-31) best for fourth-placed St Lawrence & Highland Court.

Tunbridge Wells, led by Liam McGroarty (3-20), then turned the screw to leave the away side 88-7 before some late away resistance from wicketkeeper Sully Gould (33) and Josh Julian (28 not out) in their 167 all out.

John Grewar was run-out for St Lawrence & Highland Court for 17 - while backing up at the non-striker’s end. Incredibly, it’s the third consecutive weekend where this has happened to him!

A fine Gareth Severin unbeaten century guided Hayes to a seven-wicket home win over Minster.

Batting first, Minster posted 228 all out in the 48th over, largely thanks to captain Ed Moore’s 129. Alfie Peck (3-40) and Stuart Eddicott (3-58) doing well for Hayes.

But wicketkeeper Severin blasted 146 not out in 122 balls to see the hosts across the line, having put on a 76-run stand with Rory Low (28 not out). Max Luckett (1-27), Bill Prideaux (1-37) and James Hockley (1-36) got the Hayes wickets to fall.

Third-placed Lordswood were stunned by basement boys Holmesdale, going down to a four-wicket home defeat.

A 62-ball 73 not out from Bradley Goldsack saw Lordswood to 228-7 from their 50-over allocation while Ollie Chaplin (3-30) impressed for Holmesdale.

Half-centuries from Rupert Harbig (54 not out) and opener Sanghajit Wilmott (53) then guided Holmesdale home in the 44th over despite Joe Gordon’s 3-57 and economical Connor Dale (2-17) bowling.

Second-placed Bexley are just five points off the summit after they eased past hosts Sandwich Town.

They had been restricted to 98-7, only for Kent’s Jas Singh (41) and Ahmed Jamal (36) to dig in well in their total of 173. Rory Smith (3-20) and Australian overseas James Bazley (3-31) among the wickets for Sandwich.

In their reply, only Ryan Davies (33) offered any resistance while Jamal (3-14), Harry Dowling (3-24) and 20-year-old Singh (3-33) doing the bulk of the work.

Second-bottom Sevenoaks Vine moved level on points with Blackheath, beating them by 51 runs.

The hosts reached 238-7 from their 50-over allocation largely thanks to Sevenoaks skipper Luke Schlemmer’s 97, despite a second-ball duck for Kent opener Ben Compton.

Top scorer George Wells (64) and Jas Bassan (51) offered the away team hope but Sam Jones (2-33), Andrew Reid-Dick (2-37), Chris Vernon (2-52) and James Logan (2-52) ensured they were 187 all out in the 40th over.
