Defending champions Glynde and Beddingham cruised to a 79-run victory over Seaford at The Salts.

After being put in, Glynde struggled to 60-4 before Dominic Harris joined skipper Richard Harding (51) and his quickfire 41 helped them take the score to 125.

The last five wickets fell for 34 runs with Adam Kneller (4-13) the pick of the bowlers as the visitors closed on 159 all out.

Seaford slipped to 27-4 and 52-8 in reply and were dismissed for 80 as Dominic Shepheard (3-23) and Joe Adams (3-28) returned the best figures.

Ringmer had a 62-run win over Crowhurst Park in a match where bowlers starred.

Ringmer posted 118 all out (Stuart McConachie 28, Murray Barnett 48) as Victor Walcott took 5-29 and Paul Brookes 4-14. Crowhurst were dismissed for 56 despite nearly half their runs coming in sixes.

Martin Barry, Mike Legg and Richard Coleman all got into double figures but an inspired performance by Andy Smith (4-8 runs from eight overs) and back up from Graham Pitts (2-12) and Gary Holder (2-15) helped Ringmer to 30 points.

Depleted Hellingly snatched defeat from the jaws of victory at Iden after reducing their hosts to 54-8 after 26 overs on a difficult wicket.

Opening bowlers Dave Pye (4-22) and Clint Mooiman (6-50) did the early damage before the tail-enders took Iden to a more respectable 134.

Hellingly put on 61 for the first wicket through Paul Wheatley (18) and Steve Hook (31) but then collapsed to an 18-run defeat with Michael White taking 6-7 from 11 overs.

Tom Carr led by example for Chiddingly but could not prevent his side slipping to a three-wicket defeat against Heathfield Park.

Carr made 32 in Chiddingly's 132 all out and then took 3-34 but a knock of 70 by Park captain Ian Cox helped steer the hosts to victory.

Fletching hung on for a draw with Newick after the visitors rattled up 215-6 with Miles Caldwell (61) top scoring.

Fletching closed on 160-9 with a defiant Clive Horscroft unbeaten on 42.

Sam Carter (2-6) and Liam Craig-Davies (2-27) returned Newick's best bowling figures.
