Pacesetters were earlier indebted to scores of 75 from
Jonathon Barry, 54 from Kevin Surujlall, 45 from Renford Davson, and 29 from
Donovan Matthews for their formidable total, which proved inadequate in the
end. Gregory Taylor Jr. was the most successful Police bowler with two for 45.
Meanwhile, the results of matches over the two previous
weekends saw Pacesetters beating St. George by nine wickets on May 3; and St.
Agnes defeating Police by 64 runs on April 27.
An eight-man St. George could only muster 61 for seven in
14.4 overs, with Lee Melville taking three for 29, Jeremy Jesubatham two for
one, and Kevin Surujlal two for 22. Pacesetters in reply raced to 64 for 1 in
5.2 overs, with Donovan Matthews making 28.
In the previous game St. Agnes accumulated 323 for seven in
40 overs. Turan Brown led the way with 85, while Earl Thomas made 63, Jagnauth
Jagroo 49 and Gregory Braithwaite 25. Leonard Dorsaint claimed three for 25 for
Police whose reply ended at 259 for nine with Rudy Fox hitting 78, C. Brown 33,
Kevin McInniss 32, and John Dolphin claiming three for 24. There were also two
wickets each for Brown and Jagnauth Jagroo.
The competition continues this weekend with two matches at the same venue.
