St. Agnes were indebted to visiting guest player Earl Henry for their place in the final of the Bahamas Cricket Association's (BCA) 40-over competition after beating Police by 71 runs in the second semi-final. Henry, a resident of the Turks and Caicos Islands, was in Nassau on business when he was invited to represent the team of his former TCI colleague John Dolphin.

Henry responded with an exact hundred as St. Agnes accumulated 212 in 36.2 of their allotted overs. He received minimal support however, with Omar James 29 being the next best contribution. Police's captain Gregory Taylor Jnr was the most successful bowler, claiming three wickets for 29 runs with his lively left-arm medium-pacers. His brother Marc picked up three for 41 with his off-breaks while Rudolph Fox, Jamal Rolle and Leonard Dorsaint each took a wicket. Police could only muster 141 in 25.5 overs when they replied. Marc Taylor and Rolle both made 34 while Gregory Taylor Jnr contributed 20. For St. Agnes, Orville Wright took three for 23 and Henry two for 45. There was a wicket each for James, Dolphin and Earl Thomas, the third.

The win meant St. Agnes qualified to play Dynasty Stars in the final on June 23 at the Haynes Oval on Bay Street. Dynasty booked their place in the final after winning by default over St. Alban's on June 15, the day before St. Agnes beat Police. St. Alban's failed to show up in sufficient numbers for the semi-final.
Too bad you could not be there for the final, even though it would not have made a difference in the result :)
