Teenager David Campbell smashed a century as Forties went on the rampage against Fine Leg Byes but his effort, like others in the nine-strong Commercial Cricket League, was in vain as all four matches were ruined by rain and abandoned as draws on the first day of league action on Sunday.

Campbell, 19, who was dropped three times before he had reached 20, bludgeoned seven sixes and 12 fours in his 114 at the Royal Naval Field as the defending champions piled up a massive 268 for six in their allotted 42 overs after being sent in.

North Village’s promising 13-year-old spinner Koshun Lightbourne made a name for himself by taking three for nine from 1.2 overs against St. David’s at Lord’s.

Western Stars, who struggled to make any impact last season, rattled up 201 for seven against Hamilton Parish at Shelly Bay while Jamaican Association bounced back from a crushing Caribbean Cup defeat by West Indian Association the previous week by totalling 169 for five in 37 overs against their rivals at Garrison Field.

Campbell, who spent one season with Social Club, added 117 runs for the third wicket with David DeSilva, whose 38 included five fours and two sixes, and Brian Brangman chipped in with 22 as Forties put the FLB attack to the sword, 151 runs coming from the final 14 overs.

Three successive sixes off Ishwar Narayanan’s final over spoiled his otherwise useful figures of two for 43 from eight overs while Ajit Tiwara took two for 34 from 10 overs.

“The balls were flying out into the gas station across the road,” said Forties’ skipper Gordon Campbell.

His verdict on his son’s century?

“He was lucky in that he was dropped three times in his first 20 runs. After that it was chanceless. I just need to convince him to have a different shot selection in his first five to 10 overs.”

Teenager Lightbourne’s three-wicket haul helped Village dismiss St. David’s, back in the league after a season’s break, for 156 — built around Ricky Foggo’s 41, Jahson Smith’s 38 and Aaron Crockwell’s 25 — in the 34th over. Other chief wicket-takers were Rudy Smith (two for 27 from 11 overs) and Kevin Mallory (two for 36 from 11).

Village were 14 without loss from two overs at the close.

Western Stars owed their challenging total to veterans Andre (Doc) Manders, Wayne Campbell and Treadwell Gibbons, sr. Manders struck six fours in his 44, Campbell hit five boundaries in a quickfire 38 while Gibbons made 28.

Cal Burgess produced the best bowling figures with three for 35 from 11.

Parish replied with 19 for one from five overs, Corey Berkeley (one for 11 from three) taking the wicket before rain intervened.

Jamaican Association put their 96-run Caribbean Cup thrashing behind them as they laid the foundation for a useful total, boosted by 42 extras, in a game reduced to 40 overs because of a late start.

Presley Millwood (42) and Junior Lindo (37) were JA’s leading scorers, Millwood adding 78 for the third wicket with Donovan Livingston (18). Jerry Callender was WIA’s best bowler with two for 43 from 10 overs.

“They would have scored a good 200 against us this week,” said WIA batsman Barry Richards whose side routed JA for 76 in the Caribbean Cup.

New club BC Allrounders, who had a bye on Sunday, make their debut this week against Western Stars.
