Mid Sussex League: Horsted Keynes took over top spot in division one after defeating previous leaders St Francis by 93 runs.
Stuart Fuller hit 54 as Horsted posted 223-8 and that proved ample as Saints slumped to their first defeat of the season, being dismissed for 140 with Lyle James (3-26) and James Fuller (3-37) doing the damage.
Dormansland remain third following a draw with Colemans Hatch. Nigel Cannon took 6-39 to restrict Dormans to 144 but Colemans Hatch fell ten runs short of victory in reply.
Fourteen-year-olds Matt Heppell (67) and Billy Harris (62 not out) helped Newchapel and Horne to 234-5 at home to Crawley Down. Harris hit 24 off the last over from Graham Standen but it was not quite enough to overhaul Crawley Down's 240-7 which included an excellent 113 not out by Tony Everest.
