They won by 10 wickets before their weekend got even better on Sunday with victory at Roffey in the Cockspur Cup.

Captain Benn Challen, who was out for 99 on Sunday, said: "It was a pretty clinical performance on Saturday.

"Lewes won the league last year after getting off to an excellent start and we want to get into a winning run early on and keep it going throughout the season."

In Invitation League Division 3, East Preston went down to a 39-run defeat at Keymer & Hassocks after being bowled out for 125.

EP captain Simon Locke said: "After we'd won all our friendlies, including against a strong Littlehampton side, we came back down to earth with a bump on Saturday."
