EASY BAKE St Leonard’s Boys are the new champions of the LIME Under-15 Cricket Championship.
The boys from Richmond Gap won their first title when they gained first innings honours over five-time champions Combermere in the three-day match which ended in a draw at the LIME Sports Club on Thursday.
The match ended prematurely when rain stopped play just before the tea interval with Combermere on 147 for five requiring a further 87 runs to reach a victory target of 234 runs.
Opener Leniko Boucher was leading a gallant bid by Combermere for a come-from-behind victory with a responsible unbeaten 70 which spanned 229 balls and 252 minutes and contained five fours.
But Player of the Final Tremaine Harris took two wickets in one over with his left arm spin to follow his first innings haul of five for 11 when Combermere were routed for 59 in reply to St Leonard’s first innings total of 130 for seven. Harris also made scores of 26 and 39 in the match. (EZS)Â Â
