HARTLEY Wintney celebrated a third successive win by ending Hambledon's last remaining 100 per cent record in the Southern Premier League.
After nine successive wins, the Dons suffered a four-wicket loss at Hartley Wintney, who bowled the league leaders out for 166 with wickets falling at regular intervals - the highest stand of the innings being 31 (twice).
Skipper Spencer Le Clercq, coming in at 61-4, top scored with an unbeaten 45, with opener Charlie Boyd (26) and extras (20) next highest.
Hambledon hopes were raised, though, when Henry Glanfield (2-29) was instrumental in Hartley tumbling from 59-1 to 60-4.
Hartley hit back with a 50-run stand for the fifth wicket between Jamie Teale (42) and Hugo Hammond before Jamie Mulvey (31 not out off 29 balls) tied things up.
