Second-placed Twickenham Ladies were beaten by third-placed Holmesdale in their Southern League clash on The Green on Sunday.

A 95-run second-wicket stand between sisters Hazel Lovegrove (58) and Grace Lovegrove (64) proved the cornerstone of the Holmesdale innings as they made 207-7.

Randika Galhenage bowled superbly, taking 4-25 from six overs.

Twickenham also had a big second-wicket stand, with Marina Steel (65) and Charlotte Gallagher putting on 82.

However, Holmesdale then swept through the middle order and Twickenham finished on 172-9.
