More than 20 Primary Schools competed in the BSSF/BCB Boys Super 8 Cricket Tournament at the National Sports Centre on Tuesday.

The competition, which is sponsored all week by Markel Bermuda, was another success for Warwick Academy, who made it two wins in two days after they defeated West Pembroke Primary in the final.

West Pembroke were sent into bat and scored 54 runs in their allotted overs, with Asa Smith leading the way with 21 runs and Xavi Dill contributing 12.

Avik Shah was the star bowler for Warwick, claiming three wickets in a maiden over, while Freddie Jones took two wickets and gave up just one run in his over.
