Detroy Smith claimed four for 21 off 7.4 overs as St George’s handed Flatts their first loss in the First Division in a low-scoring match at Wellington Oval yesterday.

St George’s posted just 128 in 37.2 overs and then dismissed Flatts for 102 to win by 26 runs.

St George’s, who won the toss, had four run outs in their innings as Ryan Steede led the batting with 41 not out. Chris Foggo scored 27 and Oronde Bascome 18 as Paul Carr took two for 29 off ten overs.

Flatts, who would have leapfrogged St George’s into second place with a third straight win, were dismissed in 32.4 overs with Reggie Baker their top scorer with 27 while Regino Smith scored 20.

Supporting Smith in the bowling were captain Macai Simmons, Isaiah Greaves and Lorenzo Bean with two wickets apiece. Simmons had two for 36, Greaves two for 17 and Bean two for three.
