Tunbridge Wells RFC won 26-22 away at Wimbledon to make it three wins from three in Regional 1 South Central, level on points with Sevenoaks but second on points difference.

Tonbridge Juddians take a five-from-five record to Bishop's Stortford, Sevenoaks and Tunbridge Wells are both unbeaten and sat third and fourth in their shared new division, and Weavering Warriors and East Peckham & Paddock Wood are first and second in theirs - the first weekend of regular rugby coverage across West Kent's six senior clubs.

A week on from five straight losses, West Kent's SCEFL clubs rallied: Larkfield & New Hythe beat league leaders Fisher, Rusthall thrashed Erith & Belvedere 4-0 and Bearsted edged past AFC Greenwich Borough, while Tunbridge Wells were well beaten by Phoenix Sports and Snodland Town and Staplehurst Monarchs both drew.

It was a bruising weekend for West Kent's Southern Counties East clubs: Bearsted, Rusthall, Tunbridge Wells, Larkfield & New Hythe and Snodland Town all lost, Bearsted conceding after leading 3-2 at half-time at league leaders Fisher, while Staplehurst Monarchs were the only West Kent side to avoid defeat, drawing 0-0 away at Greenways.

Eight results in eight days for West Kent's Southern Counties East clubs: Bearsted and Tunbridge Wells each won one and lost one, Rusthall lost back-to-back Premier Division games either side of a midweek win, Staplehurst Monarchs won away in the First Division, Larkfield & New Hythe salvaged a stoppage-time draw, and Snodland Town came from 3-1 down to snatch a point in stoppage time.

Bearsted hit seven at Epsom & Ewell and Rusthall put four past AFC Walcountians to reach the FA Vase third qualifying round, Staplehurst Monarchs' cup run ended at Corinthian, and Tunbridge Wells were held to a draw by Snodland Town in the league.

Rusthall beat Kennington 3-1 and Larkfield & New Hythe ended a four-match losing run with a draw at Beckenham, while most of West Kent's other Southern Counties East clubs had a free weekend.

Tunbridge Wells rounded off a strong season with a comfortable win over already-relegated Lordswood to finish third in the Kent Cricket League Premier Division, while Sevenoaks Vine signed off with a narrow defeat away to Bromley, as St Lawrence & Highland Court were confirmed champions.

Bearsted and Staplehurst Monarchs both suffered their first defeats of the season on Bank Holiday Monday, Larkfield & New Hythe's slide continued with a fourth straight loss, and Tunbridge Wells' postponed derby with Rusthall left them waiting for a response.
