North Village demolished BC Allrounders to keep their 100 percent record intact at the top of the Commercial Cricket League while Spring Garden Cavaliers got their season off to a fine start under new captain Richard Foulds with a resounding 188-run victory over BC Allrounders.

St. David's appeared reluctant to start their match with only eight men against Jamaican Association but were grateful they did after taking the lion's share of the points in a drawn match against the struggling defending champions, who allowed the East Enders to bat first.

Village, who edged Jamaican Association by nine runs in their opening match, required just 32 balls to secure a nine-wicket victory after dismissing BC Allrounders for a modest 76 at Warren Simmons Community Field a week after they gave Forties a run for their money at Garrison Field.

Kevin Mallory (three for 13 from four overs) and former skipper Reggie Benjamin (three for 21 from ten) led the Village bowling while Rudy Smith and Randy Smith picked up two apiece after BC Allrounders won the toss and chose to bat.

Village, under new skipper Allen Walker, romped to victory as Dion Ball Jr. hit an unbeaten 26 and Ernest McCallan made 20 not out after Mike Levon Jr. fell for 21.

"I think our captain did a wonderful job by putting the pressure on them from the start and that paid off for us," Benjamin said.

"We got punished," admitted BC Allrounders' manager Kenneth Smith.

"A lot of our players were missing because they had Mother's Day duties. Vernon Eve turned out for us again but we're not sure if he's going back to Flatts. Nakia Smith, who played against Forties, has returned to Social Club."

A third-wicket stand of 131 between skipper Foulds and former Police player Trevor Haynes laid the foundation for Cavaliers' huge 42-overs total of 304 for five at windswept Garrison Field in a match that yielded a total of 85 extras as bowlers struggled with their line.

Foulds struck three sixes and five fours in his 76 at number three while man of the match Haynes' 60 at number four included six fours and two sixes.

Craig Smith then compounded Ernst & Young's misery by smashing four sixes and six fours in an unbeaten 76 despite the efforts of Palithapushp Kumar, who finished with four for 63 from eight overs.

Only opener Matthew Charleson offered any resistance to the Cavaliers attack, finishing unbeaten on 29 as Ernst & Young were dismissed for 116 in the 33rd over.

Medium pacer Haynes followed his half-century by claiming three for 21 from six while Lloyd Morrison took three for 17 from four and slow bowler Boobalan Kannan chipped in with two for 18 from 4.3 overs.

"It was a good win for us," Cavaliers' batsman Barry Richards said.

"We wanted to boost our confidence ahead of this weekend's match against Forties."

Ernst & Young skipper Karunakar Kauchik said: "Cavaliers definitely played well. They were good in batting and bowling and played like true champions. We were aiming to play 42 overs so that we could get some points, but sharp bowling from Cavaliers prevented us from doing so and wickets continued to fall at regular intervals."

Jamaican Association and St. David's cut their match to 35 overs a side after a delayed start at Shelly Bay but it still produced more than 450 runs.

St. David's, propelled by half-centuries from opener Jonathan Denbrook and teenager Diego McCallan in addition to 37 from Aaron Crockwell, piled up 235 for six and then restricted the Jamaicans to 217 for eight to claim seven points to their opponents' three.

Denbroook's 76 included eight fours and two sixes while McCallan hit four sixes and three fours in his 56.

Kevin Abrahams was the most successful Jamaican bowler with two for 56 from 11.

Skipper Chris Daley led the Jamaican reply, cracking eight fours in his 58 while Michael Campbell's 45 included seven fours. Other useful contributions came from Alleyne Francis (30) and Omar Hart (26) but the club have only three points from two matches after being thrashed by Forties in the season-opening Memorial Trophy.

Denbroook was the pick of the St. David's attack with two for 56 from seven.

"St. David's turned up late with only eight men and it seemed they were debating whether to concede the points but I said, 'Let's play' – and I give them credit for a good game," Jamaican Association manager Glenmore Barrett said.

"We were short because of family reasons," St. David's skipper Stevie Trott explained.

Former Bermuda batsman Lionel Cann, who played in St. David's opening match and then turned out for the club's Premier side at the weekend, will have to sit out the East Enders' next Commercial game, the league have ruled.
