Willow Cuts 190

Devonshire Rec. Club 193-4

An unbroken 134-run fifth-wicket partnership between Ian Armstrong and Ricardo Brangman sr led Devonshire Rec. to victory over Willow Cuts by six wickets in Open League play at Somerset Cricket Club on Sunday.

Armstrong (82) and Brangman (70) combined for a match-winning performance to rescue the visitors from a precarious position as they came to the wicket with their team in a spot of bother at 59 for four.

Devonshire's top order was unable to get on top of the Cuts bowling with Oladapo Fredericks (4), Winston Paynter (3) and national Under-13 skipper Kamau Leverock (3) failing to trouble the scorers.

But then the two steely veterans guided their side to victory.

Kevon Fubler led the Cuts bowling with one for 12.

Earlier Cuts had managed to post 190 with Damian Thompson leading the way with 51. Dennis Williams returned bowling figures of three for 37 and Jodi Maroni took three for 42.

St. David's CC 161

St. George's CC 104

Off spinner Del Hollis claimed four for 23 to lay the foundation for St. David's' 62-run win over their East End rivals at Wellington Oval.

The veteran spinner sliced through a St.George's order that folded in just 24.1 overs and was supported by seamers Steve Trott and Arthur Pitcher jr who claimed two wickets apiece.

High man for St.George's was Misheal Paynter (29) followed by knocks of 24 from teenager Jonte Smith and 23 from skipper Oronde Bascome.

Earlier, Milton Jones jr hammered five fours in an innings of 36 while all-rounder Justin Pitcher and teenager Shea Pitcher jr hit an equally brisk 22 and 18 respectively after the Islanders elected to bat.

National team seamer Ryan Steede (three for 22) was the pick of the St.George's bowling while skipper Bascome had two for 19 off 7.1 overs.

Western Stars 83

Bailey's Bay 84-8

Promising all-rounder Rodney Trott produced a solid performance to inspire Bailey's Bay to a hard-fought two-wicket win against ten-man Western Stars in a low-scoring affair at St.John's Field.

Trott shone first with the ball, snatching three for 15, and then belted three fours off 51 balls before Bay sealed victory in the 29th over with two wickets in hand.

Stephen Outerbridge, one of three senior national team players in Bay's squad, top scored for the visitors with an unbeaten 34 that contained just one four.

Stars skipper Justin Pitcher led by example with the ball as he snared four for 23 while teenager Raymond Butterfield had two for 23 in a losing cause.

Earlier, Bay's decision to send their hosts into bat paid dividends as Stars were skittled out in 33.2 overs with only opener Treadwell Gibbons jr (17), wicketkeeper-batsman Khiry Furbert (16) and Robinson (16) managing decent starts.

Supporting Trott's bowling were fellow spinners Tre Govia who had three for 17 and national team skipper Irving Romaine who claimed three for nine off 5.2 overs.
