Hector,Bascombe punish Police 1
THREE NATIONAL PLAYERS recorded outstanding performances ahead of the WINLOTT Windards Twenty/20 Cricket Championship. Miles Bascombe and Donwell Hector took toll of an unimpressive Police 1 bowling attack to record centuries for Victors One, in a NLA Premier Division match of the NLA National Cricket Competition. In the match played last weekend at the Arnos Vale Playing Field, opener Mile Bascombe smashed his first century at this level, registering 6 sixes and 3 fours on his way to 102 not out. Hector stroked his second century of the season when he pummeled the lawmen for 128, laced with 3 sixes and 11 fours. As if that was not enough brutality inflicted on the Police, national
opener Donson Andrews was also among the runs, with an aggressive 97. Victors One’s lone innings of 335 for 3 put spend to any real fight by Police I who recorded 44 and 151 in their two turns at the crease, to go down in defeat by an innings and 151 runs. Alston Bobb had a seven-wicket match haul for Victors, to continue in his recent rich form with the ball. Only Kenroy Peters with a first innings score of 20 and a second innings of 44 offered any resistance by the Police 1. In another Premier Division weekend match, front runners Team Rivals recorded their fourth outright win of the season, when they defeated the News Spartans by 10 wickets at Arnos Vale 2. News Spartans batted
first and made 124, with Nixon Mc Lean leading with 59 and Dawnley Joseph 27. Deighton Butler took 3 for seven and Keswick Williams 2 for 13. Batting a second time, Spartans made 139. T-Ron Simon led with 57 and Dawnley Joseph 34. Olanzo Jackson took 4for 17 and Asif Hooper 2 for 11. Team Rivals in their first innings made 259 for nine declared. Marvin Small topscored with 55. Kadir Nedd had 48, Casmond Walters 42 and Asif Hooper 29. T’Ron Simon took 4 for 70, Nixon Mc Lean 2 for 35 and Micah Joseph 2 for 45. Set five runs to win, Team Rivals closed on eight without loss. This weekend, in the NLA Premier Division, Team Rivals will play Police 2 at Arnos Vale 1, while Police 1 oppose ASCO at Arnos Vale 2.
