With the title already in the bag for the second season running, newly-crowned Commercial Cricket League champions Spring Garden Cavaliers almost came a cropper in their final match before squeezing home by one wicket with five balls to spare against North Village.But there was no luck for BC Allrounders, who ended without a point after slumping to their eighth successive defeat, going down to Jamaican Association by 127 runs.Village and Cavaliers both played one short in a match reduced to 40 overs at Garrison Field.Opener Mike Payne dominated the Village innings, finishing unbeaten on 78 in their 181 for six after electing to bat. He received good support from Dion Ball Jr (30) and Mike Levon, Jr (28).Ricky Hill (two for 34 from six overs) and Rohan Henry (two for 47 from 13.4 overs) were the pick of the Cavaliers attack.In reply, skipper Dave Greenidge (23) and David Gibbons (15) put on 34 for the first wicket and other useful contributions came from Allan Boyce (36) and Jeff DeSilva (35) as Cavaliers reached 140 for four but Ball (four for 39 from 12.1 overs) and Randy Smith (three for 34 from eight) made inroads before last pair Freston Hurdle (five not out) and Henry (nought not out) added the six runs needed to edge their side home in the final over.“Congratulations to Spring Garden for winning the league. They are true champions,” said Village skipper Allen Walker whose side forgot to bring a new ball for the match.“Our game was very competitive, resulting in the game being won in the final over.”Added Greenidge, whose side finished 12 points clear of runners-up Forties: “The final league game was a good one for us as we decided to have a bit more fun on the field.“Payne batted well throughout the Village innings and our bowlers bowled with consistent pace and swing.“Brathwaite pulled a groin muscle after 2.2 overs and Freston Hurdle bowled a superb spell of fast bowling (one for 15 from six).“Even though we struggled against the ‘brand-new old ball’ that Village used for our innings, in the end it was great to end the season with only one loss (against Forties in the opener). We are now looking forward to the T20 final.” At Shelly Bay, in-form Aaron Adams, who struck eight fours and three sixes in his 77, and Michael Campbell (41) steered Jamaican Association to 200 for eight after they won the toss.Andre Smith (three for 53 from 10), newcomer William Burgess (two for 10 from five) and Worrell Bean (two for 68 from 15) were BC Allrounders’ most successful bowlers.Bean then top scored with 26 but none of his team-mates offered any resistance against a Jamaican attack spearheaded by Ian Coke (two for five from three), Junior Lindo (two for 30 from eight) and Bevin Carr (two for 33 from nine).“I thought we should have made 250 to 280, but it still turned out to be enough runs,” said team manager Glenmore Barrett whose aside finished third behind Forties.“I’m satisfied with our league performance but hope to do better in the Twenty20 League Cup and Knockout Cup.”The Twenty20 resumes on August 7 after the Cup Match break.Defending champions Jamaican Association face BC Allrounders in the semi-finals with the winners advancing to meet Cavaliers in the final the same afternoon at Shelly Bay.Cavaliers, still on course to complete a clean sweep of the league’s main titles, saw off Forties and Village in June.
