Leeds & Broomfield made the East Malling bowlers toil in Division 2.

Dom O’Connell (148), Max Aitken (103) and Chris Davis (76) helped fire Leeds to a huge 373- 4 and the hosts were dismissed for 106 in response.

Elsewhere in the division, 81 from Jamie Harrison helped Leybourne to 178- 4 and a six-wicket win over Benenden, who had earlier been bowled out for 175.

Holborough Anchorians found Harbledown’s batsmen too good in their Division 1 clash.

Jamie Vant-Harrison (71) and Gavin Dixon (101 not out) helped Harbledown to 282- 4 in their 40 overs before Holborough slumped to 112 all out and a 170-run defeat.

Addington Village hosted Stowting in Division 3 and restricted their visitors to 146-7 before captain Tom Grinstead took centre stage.

The opener scored an unbeaten 100 to help his side reach 148-1 in just 21.1 overs, wrapping up a nine-wicket win.

In the same division, Teston collapsed to 41 all out with 25 of those runs coming in extras. Aldington knocked off the runs with minimal fuss and the loss of just two wickets.

Linton Park claimed a dramatic victory over Staplehurs­t, making 158-9 from their 40 overs and then bowling Staplehurs­t out for 156.

Some fine batting helped Bearsted to a five-wicket win over Selling, with every one of their top-order contributi­ng in a successful chase to 186-5.

In Division 4, Town Malling were set 288 to beat Borstal and that proved far too tall an order as they were bowled out for 179.

Harrietsha­m’s Nathan Jones picked up 5-9 and his efforts went a long way to dismissing Little Chart for just 47. It took Harrietsha­m less than seven overs to knock off the runs and claim a 10-wicket win.

Blue House were all out for 126 at Saltwood and the hosts went on to win by eight wickets.

It was also a bad day for Hunton Wanderers, who lost to Borden by seven wickets in Division 5.

Hunton won the toss and batted first but they collapsed to 95 all out.

Kings Hill were due to play host to Pett in Division 6 but the visitors conceded the fixture.
