Cleveland 234-9 Bailey's Bay made it three wins in a row in the Premier Division with this easy 110-run victory over Cleveland at Sea Breeze Oval.

So easy was it that captain Charlie Marshall gave part-time bowlers Irving Romaine and Desmond Crockwell a chance to bowl as the Cleveland innings went its full 48 overs.

Cleveland were effectively out of the game even before the first wicket fell as Ricky Hill and Dennis Trott smashed 188 in an opening stand that lasted just 26 overs. Both players hit their highest scores of the season with Hill blasting an exciting 71 with five fours and four sixes and Trott stroking 10 fours and four sixes in his 91.

Peter Philpott, the sixth bowler used by Cleveland, removed the pair in successive overs -- both bowled -- and then bowled Glenn Blakeney for 10 in the 32nd over to make it 210-3. However, with the depth of the Bay batting, a 300-plus total was always likely and the home team threw caution to the wind in the last 20 overs, scoring another 137 to reach the highest total of the season.

Marshall hammered five sixes and a four in his 54 while Romaine chipped in with 35 and Irving Burgess 20. Philpott finished with three for 50 from 10 overs while Jason Simons took two for 57.

Curtis Jackson, batting at number seven because of an injury, smashed 81 with nine sixes and three fours to lead the Cleveland batting while captain Adams scored 45 and Jason Simons 26. Cleveland showed a willingness early on to make it exciting, as they scored at five runs an over for the first 20 overs, with their first 50 posted in just eight overs. But the task was always beyond them as Bay kept taking wickets to retain the upper hand. Cleveland slumped from 111-3 to 122 for seven before Jackson and Merkel Smith (12 not out) added 79 for the ninth wicket.

Western Stars 260 Somerset 157 Western Stars posted a total way out of Somerset's reach at St. John's Field yesterday thanks to fine knocks by Albert Steede and Ricky Brangman.

Steede and his opening partner Jamie Postlethwaite gave Stars a solid start, putting on 49 before Postlewaite was caught by wicketkeeper Michael Donawa off Tueoma Robinson.

Steede went on to smash 81 and was the fourth man out, caught and bowled by Shawn Roberts, and by that time the Stars total was up to 200.

Roberts, who took three for 32, also claimed the wicket of Brangman who struck 69.

Faced with the task of scoring at more than five an over, Somerset got off to a dreadful start with both Stevel Mendes and Leon Place dismissed by the time the total had reached seven.

Opener Tony Cheeseman and Wendell White gave Somerset hope with a partnership of 86, which ended when Cheeseman was caught by Treadwell Gibbons jnr. off Gary Brangman for 35.

White, who scored a century on the first day of the season against Devonshire Rec., went on to top-score with 55.

Warwick 149 Southampton 150-2 Skipper Olin Jones was in the thick of the action as Southampton cruised to an eight-wicket victory over Warwick at Southampton Oval.

Jones ripped apart the Warwick innings with a devastating spell of bowling, taking four for 12 in his four overs, as Warwick were dismissed for 149.

The other most impressive Rangers bowler was Gary Crofton with three for 24 from his 7.5 overs.

The biggest single contribution to the Warwick total came from extras, of which there were 43, thanks largely to 23 wides bowled by the wayward Rangers bowlers. Ritchie Foggo was top-scorer with 39.

Then Jones opened the batting for Rangers and had made 12 before he was hit in the face by the ball and retired hurt.

An unbroken partnership between Janeiro Tucker (60 not out) and Clevie Wade (27 not out) guided Rangers home.
