Hambledon needed their skipper 'captain calm' Spencer Le Clercq to get them across the line against Division 1 rivals Totton & Eling, who unsettled their Ridge Meadow by taking three cheap wickets as they closed in on victory.
The Dons appeared to have matters in hand as they eased to 92-3 chasing 145 but a triple strike by Bothwell Chapungu (4-37) created panic in the ranks and showed Le Clercq (above) what he could do.
An unbeaten 29 from the captain got Hambledon home by three wickets and ensured the earlier runs made by Chris Pratt (27)and Justin Behrens (27) didn't go to waste.
Australian run bully Joe Merlino (40) and Billy Lightfoot, with a late but important 27*, top scored for Totton, with six wickets falling to spin, three to Behrens.
Promoted Langley Manor lost three wickets for nine ruins in mid-innings and needed Elliott Ponting (34) to stop the rot in the Calmore Sports derby.
Oli Hibberd (3-9) and Mark Lavelle (3-23) shared six wickets as the Manor made 119. Calmore wobbled a 32-4 after a Jack Campbell triple, but Aussie Evan Allaway hit a match winning 44.
