Rain meant all Kent League Premier Division matches were abandoned on Saturday.
Bexley remain top of the pile, nine points clear, after their washout at Minster.
An unbroken 80-run stand between Matthew Stiddard (44 not out) and Ben Aldred (23 not out) had taken them to 109-4 at the 25-over mark. Opening bowlers Bill Prideaux (2-13) and Daniel Masters (2-50) took the wickets to fall.
Second-placed Lordswood had made a strong start at home to Sandwich Town, who were 58-3 after 17 overs.
South African overseas Thando Ntini (2-17) best with the ball while opener Ben Chapman was 15 not out for the away team.
Tunbridge Wells had got off to a blistering start at Hayes from the 13.2 overs which were possible.
A 33-ball Chris Williams 57 allowed them to make 107-1 before the elements intervened. Scott Gallagher (1-6) claimed the wicket to fall.
Basement boys Sevenoaks Vine made it to 57-2 from the 14 overs which were possible at home to St Lawrence & Highland Court.
Ben Price was 32 not out, as opening bowlers Ben Mills (1-16) and Jamie Hemphrey (1-28) took the only Sevenoaks scalps of the afternoon.
In what would have potentially been a key game at the foot of the division, visitors Blackheath - nine points ahead of resurgent second-bottom side Holmesdale - had reached 79-2 from 14.4 overs.
Jas Bassan (28) top scored, and opening bowlers Callum Gallagher (1-26) and Mike Bryant (1-34) got among the wickets for Holmesdale.
