Sam Lockwood led the way as Hook & Newnham Basics took control against Calmore Sports - the former Kent League hard hitter peppering the King George V ground boundary in a 100-run opening partnership.
He struck four maximums and six fours in a run-a-ball 73 scored out of an opening stand of 110 with Harry Warner (45) as Hook took control.
The Buckingham brothers Matt (53) and skipper Josh (41) added to Calmore's woe, despite former Team Solent seamer Joe Butcher (3-34) initiating a late fall which saw Basics lose six wickets for 30 runs, but still finish with 274-9.
Ben Johns responded with a typical 48, but Brad Jewer (31) and Matt Taylor (28) were the only other batters to make a mark as Aniket Divecha (4-45) reduced the visitors to 169 all out.
Hook won by 105 runs.
