St. George's 258-5; Somerset 139

Clay Darrell stroked a superb century to help St. George's beat Somerset by 119 runs in the Little Cup Match in the West End at the weekend.

Defending champions Somerset were unable to shackle Darrell whose unbeaten 101 allowed St. George's to declare with a formidable total, losing only five wickets.

Showing some of the class displayed by his father, Clay Smith, Darrell dominated the bowling throughout his stay at the wicket, smashing 13 fours and five sixes.

He was well supported by Okei Bascome who contributed a well-played 83, hitting nine fours and four sixes while Machai Simmons stroked 17 and Christian Burgess 16 not out.

Kavon Fubler, a reserve for Somerset in this year's Senior Cup Match, was the best bowler for the West Enders with two wickets for 25 runs off seven overs with a maiden. St. George's batted for 34 overs.

David Bernard and Darrell overpowered the Somerset batting line-up, combining to take eight wickets between them as the home side were dismissed in 53.5 overs.

Bernard finished with four for 19 in 15 overs while Smith claimed four for 41 off 16.5 overs.

Cecoy Robinson offered some resistance for Somerset with a fine 67, hitting seven fours and three sixes, while Fubler scored 30 (six fours) and Mike Johnson 11.
