Flatts Victoria will get a final chance to clinch promotion to the One 50 Overs Premier Division when they meet Western Stars in the play-off match at PHC Field on Sunday.

Flatts, who were knocked out of first place and denied automatic promotion when they lost to Willow Cuts last weekend, are battling against the odds in the play-off match for the second straight year. They lost to Somerset by six wickets in last year’s contest at Sea Breeze Oval and must do it all over again against Stars, who finished second from bottom of the top flight.

No First Division team have won promotion through the play-offs, going back to 2012, with Cleveland winning three times against Stars (twice) and St George’s. Cleveland avoided another playoff when they took advantage of the Flatts loss to Cuts by comfortably beating PHC on Sunday to clinch promotion and the First Division title.

The busy weekend of cricket begins this evening with the inaugural Cup Match Legends Twenty20 match at Somerset Cricket Club before both Cup Match clubs play their final trial matches tomorrow before team selections later that night. On Sunday, the Colts Cup Match will be played at Somerset as the build-up to Cup Match continues.

• The final two One Player of the Week winners were announced by the Bermuda Cricket Board yesterday, with Rohan Davis of Western Stars winning the Premier Division award for the weekend of July 15 when he claimed six wickets for 36 runs from 9.2 overs of spin in his team’s narrow one-wicket defeat by St David’s in a low-scoring match at St John’s Field.

Allan Douglas Jr’s performances with the bat and ball last weekend against St George’s earned him the award for last weekend. Douglas claimed three wickets for just ten runs as St George’s were dismissed for 91. He then followed up with a blistering knock of 41 from just 16 balls, with five sixes, as St David’s quickly wrapped up a six-wicket victory.

The First Division awards went to Steven Bremar of Cleveland for his knock of 114 against Somerset Bridge on July 15 and Joseph Basden of Willow Cuts whose devastating bowling spell of six for 26 from 6.3 overs denied Flatts the victory on Sunday that would have assured them automatic promotion.
