Commercial Cricket League with contrasting victories in make-up matches on Sunday.

West Indian Association, led by a five-wicket haul by skipper Ken Savoury and an unbeaten half century from Andy Boyce, romped to a seven-wicket win over bottom club North Village at Police Field with more than 24 overs to spare.

Watford ended Forties' three-match winning streak, completing a nine-wicket victory at Shelly Bay with just nine balls to spare thanks to an unbeaten 80 by Michael Corday.

West Indian Association and Watford (formerly Sandys Sports Club), who finished one-two in the league last season, have 551 points with identical records from eight matches, four and a half points ahead of Lucozade Leg Trappers who are away to Watford this Sunday.

In another crucial clash West Indian Association take on Jamaican Association at Shelly Bay. All clubs now have six matches left.

Forties struggled for runs against the lively bowling of Terence Corday, who finished with four for 25 from 14 overs and also had two catches dropped, after being sent in and were 68 for four from 30 overs. But as they did against Police Recreation Club the previous week, Forties produced a flurry of late runs.

Fifty-five-year-old Gerald Simons led the assault with three fours and a six before being run out off the final ball for 56 as Forties smashed 86 runs in the final 12 overs to close at 154 for seven -- a challenging total with long grass in the outfield.

Simons added 67 for the sixth wicket with Hughie Hollis, a former Young Men's Social Club allrounder, who made 21 and later picked up the only Watford wicket to fall, finishing with one for 44 from 10 overs on his club debut.

Earlier opener Gary Edwards made 29 before being smartly caught by Michael Corday off David DeSilva, who took two for 36.

Both Watford openers, skipper Terry Corday (11) and Ray DeSilva (24), retired hurt after pulling muscles but Michael Corday -- dropped three times -- and David DeSilva made Forties pay dearly for their generosity as they spilled a hatful of chances.

DeSilva, dropped twice, finally went for 23 but Corday found an able partner in Clyde Best (eight not out). After surviving two chances in the closing stages, Corday sealed victory with a six over long-on off skipper Gordon Campbell. Corday struck six boundaries in all.

Boyce also clouted a big six -- hitting the tennis court fence -- to clinch West Indian Association's emphatic win over North Village, who won the toss and batted before being dismissed off the final ball for 113.

Randy Jones (27), skipper Mike Levon (25) and Allan Young (25) made useful contributions but skipper Savoury, with five for 27 from 12 overs, and Randy Liverpool (two for 20) kept the scoring in check.

West Indian Association lost Barry Richards (eight) and Patrick Hamlett (six) with only 16 runs on the board but Boyce and John McConnie (31) carried the side to the brink of victory with a third-wicket stand of 91.

Boyce finished unbeaten on 58, hitting seven fours and two sixes. Derek Bell was Village's most successful bowler with two for 27.
