Ali Dar removed the dangerous Ant Shales first ball while Henry Jones finished with figures of 4-27 as Vine were skittled for 103.

Hartley Country Club are the new leaders after squeezing past Bickley Park by three runs.

They were dismissed for 224 in 46.1 overs but the bowlers held their nerve at the death to restrict Park to 221-6.

Second-placed Bexley are level on points with Hartley but have won fewer games.

Maruf Chowdhury (3-33) impressed as Lordswood slumped to 31-5 before reaching 206-7.

Former Kent star Min Patel (82) hit 15 fours and a six as Bexley won by four wickets.

Kent youngster Daniel Bell-Drummond helped Blackheath beat Bromley by 94 runs.

He hit a steady 59 off 68 balls at the top of the order as third-placed Blackheath closed on 272-8.

James Hands (3-17) and Chris Willetts (3-24) were too much for Bromley who were bowled out for 178.

Canterbury beat relegation rivals Tunbridge Wells in a match reduced to 30 overs a side because of rain.

Benedict Kemp (2-17) removed the openers as Wells struggled to 110 all out.

Tim Bishop (41) and James Lilley (44) batted sensibly to set up an eight-wicket victory for Canterbury.
