NPL Teddington reclaimed top spot in Division One of the Thames Valley League after a comprehensive 58 run victory over Marlow Park.
On a saturated wicket, NPL Teddington elected to bat and raced to 67 off the first 10 overs through Jim Feltham and Asif Padhani.
But then tight Marlow Park bowling restricted NPL Teddington to 109 at the 42 over mark.
This was built round 63 not out from Stuart Garvie, who paced his innings excellently in the face of little other significant support.
Marlow Park do not have strength in depth in their batting line up and an accurate spell from Aussie Chris Binney, who was rewarded with the first two wickets, gave NPL Teddington the start they wanted.
But the decisive spell came from Dave Andrews who took 5-25, including his first-ever hat-trick, started by a brilliant one-handed catch from Nick Churchman. Simon Rutt then returned to take two wickets in consecutive balls to finish off Marlow Park.
NPL Teddington 176-9 (Garvie 63 n.o.) beat Marlow Park 118 (Andrews 5-25, Binney 2-21, Rutt 2-47).
