Watford Sports Club, pipped at the post by West Indian Association last season, edged closer to the Commercial League title when they were gifted 10 points by North Village as closest challengers Forties lost to Lucozade Leg Trappers on the weekend.

Police Recreation Club moved up to second place after beating West Indian Association at Police Field while Lucozade leap-frogged over Forties into third.

Police, Lucozade and Forties are the only clubs still capable of overhauling Watford but the West Enders need only one win from their final two games against WIA and Police -- or draws in both -- to clinch the title.

Watford claimed full points on Sunday when Village defaulted because of a club cruise to go 12 points clear of Police.

Jamaican Association earned their sixth win of the season by completing the double over West End Warriors with a 36-run victory at Shelly Bay despite losing key all-rounder Michael Campbell, who stunned his team-mates by leaving the ground after being given out lbw for two.

Team spokesman Glenmore Barrett, who later fielded as a substitute for Campbell, said the player apparently had an argument with some of his team-mates but his walk-out was unrelated to the lbw decision.

Skipper Graham Strange, who has had a lean time with the bat this season, hit an unbeaten 32 to guide Lucozade to a four-wicket victory with two overs to spare in a tight finish at Nationals after restricting Forties to 121 for nine.

Forties, having been sent in, never fully recovered from losing two wickets in Dave Wright's opening over of the innings.

Wright, who finished with two for 46 from 12 overs, yorked Mark Melvin for nought and next ball bowled skipper Gordon Campbell.

Although Peter Borland (26), who avoided the hat-trick, and opener Tim Bridges (33) added 51 for the third wicket, Forties paid the penalty for a number of loose shots and collapsed to 82 for nine before Ivan Clifford (32 not out) and Oscar Andrade (six not out) added 39 as they batted out the final 10 overs.

Roddy Moore, who picked up the wickets of Bridges, Borland and Rohaan Simons for a duck, bagged three for 19 and there were also two wickets apiece for Strange and Ian Falconer.

Pete Norris (28) and James Broadbent (10) gave Lucozade a good start with a stand of 39. Norris went at 53 and Jeremy Franklin (nine) at 62. Gary Knight's dismissal for 21 sparked a minor collapse, three wickets going cheaply as slow bowler Andrade, who snapped up four for 37 in nine overs, and Campbell, who took one for 39 in a marathon 20 overs, kept the pressure on.

Olwin Clarke, the third skipper to lead WIA this season, did his best to keep the defending champions in the title hunt, taking two for 34 and topscoring with 33, but Police, who struggled to field a team, ran out winners by 20 runs.

Devonish Small smashed three sixes and three fours in a typically explosive knock of 46 while Dennis Gordon (24) and Dave Geraghty (22) were the other main contributors as Police subsided from 123 for four to 161 all out in the 41st over.

Jerry Callender was the pick of the WIA attack with three for 24 in 11 overs while Wendell White, a Barbadian playing his first match for the club, took two for 29.

Although Patrick Waithe made 30, WIA suffered a serious setback when Andy Boyce was adjudged caught behind for seven.

Dawson Dates shrugged off a hamstring injury to take three for 19 while Rohan Moore took two for 45 and skipper Jim Walters two for 48.

Ian Coke topscored with 32 as Jamaican Association were dismissed for 150 in 40 overs, Diallo Butterfield, skipper Gladstone Eve, Ronald Gibbons and Leon Eve taking two wickets each for West End Warriors.

Warriors, who have plugged away gamely in their first season and remain one point clear of bottom club Village, were undone by the pace of David Gibbs who took three for 33, Gibbons topscoring with 22 and skipper Eve making an unbeaten 17.
