REIGATE Priory made it four wins from four after another victory today in the Ryman Surrey Championship Premier Division.
Having already beaten Weybridge, Sunbury and Leatherhead this season, it was Sutton who felt the force of the Llamas this weekend.
Priory triumphed by 55 runs largely thanks to some great batting from Richie Oliver, who notched 143 runs from 141 balls.
Luke Beaven was again the pick of the bowlers with 3-25, while Simon King took 3-40.
Oliver's match-winning innings for the Llamas comes less than 24-hours since he had a similar effect on Worcestershire Rapids in the Natwest T20 Blast. Worcestershire beat current T20 champions Northants by five wickets with Oliver top-scoring with 77.
However, it was less good news for Banstead, who are still without a win this season after losing at home to Premier Division new-boys Leatherhead.
The Rams won the toss and put the Tanners into bat, but despite five wickets for Aman Shinwari, the visitors still managed to amass a healthy 197 all out.
However, Banstead failed to flourish with the bat, the top scorer coming from Shinwari, with 26, batting at lower-middle order.
The 105 run win was the first-ever Premier Division triumph for Leatherhead.
