KENT village league:

Egerton’s defeat (see story above) enabled Harbledown to return to the top of Division 1 after a one-week absence.

Led by Gavin Dixon (5-15 in eight overs), they hurried strugglers Selling out for just 85 (Ollie Lane 23). Robert Campbell took 3-12 in five overs and Jake Guinan 2-18 in nine.

Openers Jonathan Showler (47 not out) and Guinan (25) then made light work of the chase, the home side reaching their target for the loss of two wickets, in 9.1 overs.

Harbledown (56 points) now have a three-point lead over Leeds & Broomfield with Egerton (52) third and Wingham (51) fourth after losing by 60 runs to Stone-in-oxney.

Wingham lost their first three batsmen for ducks before James Widerstrom (33) and Andrew West (37) launched a recovery but although Simon Chittim added 40 batting at No.7, they were 128 all out. Stone had been dismissed for 188, Widerstrom taking 3-3, Dan Mchugh 3-22 and Louis Glynn Williams 2-19.

Half-centuries from Ed Laslett (59) and Diccon Stubbings (56 not out) were not enough to save Ash from a 54-run defeat against Leeds & Broomfield.

The home side closed on 195-8 in reply to the Leeds total of 249-8. Matt Hammond’s 112 helped Sheldwich to a matchwinning total of 245-7 against Wye. Dan Ray added 49, Conner Hicklin 33 and James Creed 27.
