East Sussex League: Late replacement Dominic Harris stole the show with seven wickets as Glynde maintained top spot in division one.

The Sussex under-16 captain was only called in at the 11th hour when Adam Davies pulled out with a fractured finger.

But the 16-year-old leg-spinner returned figures of 7-57 as visitors Seaford were dismissed for 200 and Glynde went on to reach their target with nine wickets in hand.

Skipper Ian Mepham, whose side have maintained an 11-point lead at the top of the table, said: "My cousin (Adam Davies) broke his finger the week before against Herstmonceux.

"We called Dominic in at late notice and he took 7-57. He went for 25 in his first two overs but I kept him on, he took a wicket in his next over and didn't look back from there."

Glynde's side is packed with young players like Harris. Joe Adams, who is also 16, took 2-26 against Seaford while 21-year-old Dominic Shepheard hit 85 not out as Glynde knocked off the runs. Richard Harding, who adds experience to the side, hit an unbeaten 83, while John Reynolds hit 58 for Seaford.

Mepham said: "When I took over the captaincy five years ago we were bottom of division two and I said this can't go on. We bloodied the youngsters, stuck with them and they are showing the fruits of that now."

Chiddingly kept up the pressure on Glynde with a thumping win away to DPB (Eastbourne), who are now bottom of the table.

Jonathan Lofthouse (70) and Dave Ellis (49) led the way as Chiddingly recovered from 24-3 to post 237-7, with James Bentley's 3-31 the pick of the bowling.

Greg Osborn hit 45 in reply but gained little support as DPB were dismissed for 120 with Zubin Bhettay (5-48) and Gavin Sutherland (4-31) sharing the honours.

Fletching registered a third successive win as they beat fellow title contenders Crowhurst Park by six wickets to go third in the table.

Rob Bliss helped Park recover from 56-6 to make 120 all out but it was never going to be enough. Fletching skipper Glenn Potter was the pick of the bowlers with 5-31 while Terry Lucas took 3-42 and Grant Horscroft 2-15 from 12 overs.

In reply, Park were given a sniff of hope with Fletching on 53-4 but Lucas carried his bat for 42 and Horscroft added 40 not out to see Fletching home.

Two of the bottom three recorded victories. Ringmer's troubled season continued as they slumped to defeat at home to Herstmonceux. The visitors were grateful for an eighth-wicket stand of 24 between Greg Watson (24) and Alan Smith (15) as they reached 154 all out. Mike Paige top scored with 30 while wickets fell to Graham Pitts (4-32) and Murray Barnett (3-50).

Ringmer's reply was in all kinds of trouble as Alan Smith (4-33) and Paul McDonald (3-17) reduced them to 40-7. Adam Smith, batting at No. 9, offered some resistance with 28 before he was last man out with the score on 100.

Heathfield Park moved off the bottom with a maximum points win at home to Newick. Scott Pearce led the way with 118 as Heathfield made 215-7, with wickets falling to Rupert Thacker (4-83) and Tiger Jadeja (3-47).

Richard Holland hit 50 not out in reply but Newick were dismissed for 176 with Daniel James (4-51) and Simon Briggs (3-42) doing the damage.

In division two, leaders Iden stretched their lead as they were the only winners in the top five.

Iden scored 247-3 away to Wadhurst with David White striking a splendid 152 not out. In reply, Dick Holland hit 48 and Mick Smith 34 but Wadhurst were dismissed for 161 with Paul Barnett taking 4-55 and White completed an excellent day with 2-0.

Second-placed St Peters lost to local rivals Rottingdean. Saints were indebted to a stand of 74 between Tim Moss (74) and Giles Ward (44) as they made 164-7, with Steve Johnson's 3-28 the pick of the bowling.

Rottingdean set off like an express train but from 53-0 wickets began to fall. Skipper Andrew Bird (30 not out) held firm, though, as they reached their target with one wicket to spare. St Peters skipper Matthew Knight took 3-42.

Knocks from Keith Savage (74), Gareth Clarke (54) and Joe Wheatley (41 not out) helped Barcombe reach 252-6 away to Ditchling. Clarke then took 3-39 but Ditchling held on for a draw at 229-8.

Lewes St Michael's won off the penultimate ball in a high scoring game at Hellingly. James Wise (101 not out) and Steve Vidler (50 not out) added 111 from 16 overs as the hosts posted 225-5, skipper Paul Wheatley chipping in with 32.

St Michael's seemed to be going nowhere six overs before the last hour at 67-3 but Phil Lucas (62 not out), Gary Martin (37) and Dave Windless (32) carried them to an impressive victory at 227-8.

In the clash of the bottom two, Uckfield Anderida clinched their first win of the season away to Battle. Kelvin Morton hit 59 as Uckfield made 149 all out, with wickets falling to Phil Harrod (5-26) and Charlie Gammel (3-38). Battle then slumped to 67 all out in reply with Peter Morris (5-15) and John Deverill (3-15) doing the damage.
