West Sussex League: Division one leaders Dome Mission suffered a four-wicket defeat at West Chiltington to blow the title race wide open.

Second-placed Palmers are nine points off the top following a convincing away win against Crawley Eagles III.

Palmers made 219-7, thanks to Russ Ferrier (90) and Peter Powell (42), and Eagles struggled to 188 all out in reply. Jim McLarnon was the pick of the Palmers attack with figures of 5-39.

Ram are still in title contention following a comfortable win at Hove Medina. Bramoss (99 not out) and Rakesh Patel (93) helped Ram set a target of 335-6, which rarely looked in danger as Hove finished all out for 202. Peter Pennells top scored with 35 for Medina.

A superb century by Steven Mander (104) sealed a six-wicket home win for St Matthias against Three Bridges IV. Gordon Wright had earlier hit an unbeaten 59 to help Bridges set a target of 202-7. But Saints made easy work of the chase and reached 204 for the loss of just four wickets.

Lancing Manor won by eight wickets at home against Brighton Insurance after restricting the visitors to 166-9. Jason Tingley top scored for Brighton with 52, but good bowling by Steve Luckhurst ensured Manor had a realistic score to chase. Neil Reynolds starred in reply with an undefeated 69 to ease Lancing to 170-2.

Steve Hill (47), John Gray (47) and Keith Walters (63) helped Three Bridges III beat Findon III at home. Bridges finished on 276-8 and bowled out Findon for 247 with Prasad (5-45) doing the damage.
