Joint leaders Police Recreation Club, Watford Sports Club and West Indian Association maintained their 100 percent records on Sunday as they notched up convincing victories in what is shaping up to be the Commercial Cricket League's most competitive season ever.

Lucozade Leg Trappers, who are also expected to mount a serious challenge for the league title with several former Nationals players in their ranks, picked up their first victory with a comfortable win over North Village to move into fourth place.

West End Warriors fielded only nine players for the second week running and crashed to another heavy defeat as defending champions WIA romped home by 159 runs at Garrison Field.

Although WIA lost two quick wickets, Andy Boyce, a century-maker the previous week, clouted two sixes and 13 fours in a knock of 76 while Jerry Callender hit 42 and Patrick Waithe 33 to help steer their side to an imposing 234 for eight. Vernon Eve took three for 76 for the Warriors.

Callender picked up three for 25 and Junior Watts two for five as the Warriors were dismissed for 75 in the 31st over.

Skipper Grant Tomkins exploited a treacherous White Hill Field pitch to grab a six-wicket haul and spur a 10-man Police Recreation Club to an 84-run win over Forties after West Indians Chris Graham-Ward and Devonish Small had laid the foundation for victory with contrasting half-centuries.

Having been charged $150 for the pitch, Police players found it uncovered and unmarked -- and then had to roll it themselves. Even so most batsmen took blows to the body but miraculously nobody was seriously injured.

Forties had no hesitation in fielding first but openers Graham-Ward, dropped early, and Dave Geraghty (23) put on a steady 66 in 25 overs. Roosevelt Maronie went for two and Graham-Ward was smartly stumped by Matthew Lee with the total 114, having hit six fours in his 55.

The arrival of Small changed the complexion of the game as he lashed five sixes and three fours in a whirlwind 54 to help Police reach 176 for seven.

Newcomer Craig Christensen was Forties' top bowler, picking up three for 57 in a marathon 17-over spell. Julian Rose took two for 30.

Despite a fiery opening spell from Andy McCulloch, Forties reached the relative comfort of 50 for the loss of only Lee but acting skipper Gary Edwards (19) and Gordon Campbell (21) both fell in quick succession to turn the match firmly the Police Club's way.

Rohaan Simons batted well for his 19 but Tomkins switched ends to send Forties tumbling to defeat, picking up three wickets in his 15th over and finishing with an impressive six for 23. Left-arm slow bowler Sam Davis took two for 25 as Forties slid to 94 all out.

Michael Corday, with his second successive half century, and a five-wicket haul from Blake West guided Watford to a five-wicket victory over Jamaican Association at the Royal Naval Field.

Mike Young (31) and Norman Godwin (35) featured in an fine opening stand of 60 but six wickets crashed for the addition of 38 runs before Michael Campbell, with four sixes and three fours in an unbeaten 59, shored up the innings as the Jamaican Association closed at a respectable 172 for eight.

West, whose 14-year-old son Jim steered Watford to an improbable win the previous week, finished with five for 43 from 15 consecutive overs and David DeSilva took three for 63 from 16 overs.

The Cordays then teamed up to engineer victory. Skipper Terry Corday, opening the innings, made a restrained 30, his brother Michael struck three sixes and eight fours in his 64 and Terry's son Terence made 28 as Watford waltzed home with 11 overs to spare. Cordell Simmons took three for 30.

Lucozade Leg Trappers' modest 155 at Shelly Bay proved beyond the reach of North Village who were dismissed for 84.

The Leg Trappers recovered from a shaky 35 for four thanks to useful contributions from middle order batsmen Rick Morris (28) and David Wright and James Sparrow, who each made 30.

Chris Binns was Village's most successful bowler, sending down 20 overs for a four for 62 return. Mike Levon and Dion Ball, who later topscored for Village with 27, both picked up three wickets.

Man-of-the-match Wright and fellow opening bowler Noel Capewell grabbed the lion's share of the wickets to secure victory. Wright finished with four for 36 from 15 overs while Capewell took three for 24. Peter Norris had two for 15.

Meanwhile, Sean Spencer, the only Bermudian in last season's WIA line-up, has applied to make a swift return to the Commercial League after joining First Division side Young Men's Social Club this year.

Under Commercial League rules Spencer will have to sit out the next two matches and will be eligible to play on June 1.
