Matthews leads Dynasty plunder of St. Agnes

Dynasty's batting card

Opening batsman Donovan Matthews saved his best performance for the final match of the competition, plundering a magnificent 195 to lead Dynasty Stars to a mammoth 285-run victory over St. Agnes as the Bahamas Cricket Association's 40-over tournament came to an end on June 23rd at the Haynes Oval on Bay Street.

Matthews stroked 25 fours and six sixes as Dynasty amassed 368 for five in the allotted overs. St. Agnes, without the services of guest player Earl Henry who scored 100 in the semi-finals a week earlier, could only muster 83 in reply from 23.4 overs.

Matthews was well supported by Jonathan Barry (36), Ryan Tappin (24), Howard Roye (18) and Rohan Parks (14). He posted 87 for the first wicket with Roye, 85 for the second with Tappin, and 99 for the fourth with Barry. The total
