Exiles lost by 5 wickets on a sweltering afternoon in South Croydon.
Exiles won the toss and batted, but found scoring tough - with the first boundary off the bat not until the 17th over. After a platform from Keith, Hasan and Darwin, it was first Bernard (20) and then Andy (28no) finally finding some form at the death that propelled Exiles to 137 for 7 off their 35 overs.
It never looked enough as the Kenley openers powered out of the blocks, and had reached 78 in the 8th over before Keith (3 for 30) picked up the first of his 3 wickets as Exiles realised pace off the ball was the tactic for the day.
When Andy (2 for 16) also struck twice, Exiles were nearly back in the game with Kenley at 111 for 5 - but some tough chances weren't taken and eventually Kenley cruised home with over 10 overs spare.
Exiles will be looking to get back on form against Merton at Cottenham Park next week.
