Calmore Sports marched on at the top of British Gas Southern League, Division 1 with an eight-wicket win over Rowledge.
But nearest promotion challengers Hook & Newnham Basics and Basingstoke & North Hants swept to impressive ten-wicket victories themselves.
Seamer Liam Newton and left-arm spin pair Mark Lavelle and Jack Rutter bowled Calmore to a Loperwood Park victory over visiting Rowledge.
Newton (3-19) took out the Rowledge top three with the new ball, while Lavelle (3-10) ripped out the middle order and Australian Rutter (3-21) the tail.
Calmore lost two wickets chasing 120, but James Manning (46) and Ben Johns (38) eased them across the line.
Hook & Newnham Basics shot Portsmouth out for a meagre 65 before romping to a ten-wicket win at the KGV.
Shane Brewer did the damage with a 4-28 return, but 16-year old Rupert Armstrong (2-18) caused no end of problems with his in-swing bowling as Portsmouth were rolled off for a club lowest total.
Kevin Poulter took 2-0 for Hook, who polished off the target inside ten overs, with Ben Thane hitting 41 not out.
Former Hampshire and Kent pace bowler David Griffiths sank rock bottom Tichborne Park with a spell of 5-21 before Basingstoke cruised to a ten-wicket win at May’s Bounty.
He reduced Tichborne to 47-5 (Henry Don 29) before Tom Allam (31) and Jack Skinner (39) produced the only meaningful partnership of the innings.
Ryan Connor and Mitchell Stokes each took two wickets before Griffiths returned to mop up the tail.
Dan Belcher, (left), with an unbeaten 77, and Max Harsham (52) hit 21 boundaries in their 137-run stand which carried the third-placed Bountymen to victory.
Stand in skipper, Ryan Covey led his Liphook & Ripsley side to a comfortable 62-run win over his former Sarisbury Athletic team-mates, who remain anchored to the basement.
Ryan top scored with a patient 60 in an often impressive opening partnership of 110 with brother, Richard 51. Although spinner Ricky Rawlins (3-43) removed Ryan, Suman Ganguly and Mainak Ray in sharp order.
A diligent sixth-wicket partnership of 55 between Grant Rouse (36) and Harry Munt (32) saw Liphook on the way to a commanding total of 251 all out in the final over.
Sarisbury made a shaky start with the top three soon back in the pavilion. Liphook were well served by some fine catching, not least the diving pair by Chris Martin.
Visitors' skipper, Matt Journeaux (48) and 15-year old Jamie Dunn (53) did their best to turn the game with a rapid stand of 88 until Harry Munt
chipped in with a vital 4-33. He was well assisted by fellow spinner Mainak Ray 3-39, as Sarisbury tumbled
to 189 all out in the 44th over.
