A low-scoring game saw Lordswood edge past relegated Holmesdale to be crowned Kent League Premier Division champions on Saturday.
There were some nervy moments for the Medway club in their five-wicket away win but they finished 15 points ahead of second-placed Bexley.
Jack Laraman (5-17) and captain Calum MacLeod (3-14) did the hard work to skittle Holmesdale out for 78 in the 18th over. There was a twist, however.
Callum Gallagher (5-21) ploughed through Lordswood’s top order to leave them 23-5 and the match was firmly back in the balance until MacLeod (32 not out) and Bradley Goldsack (27 not out) saw Lordswood across the line in the 20th over to spark joyous scenes.
