Wanderers and Empire completed victories on a rain-affected last day of the first-round matches in the Barbados Cricket Association’s Elite Division yesterday.

While the two matches in St Michael were badly affected, the weather was brighter in St Philip, where Wanderers defeated Crane Resort St Catherine at Bayfield and Empire won from Gladiola at Rices.

AT BAYFIELD: Wanderers completed a resounding 178-run victory over St Catherine.

St Catherine resumed at 27 for three in pursuit of 282 and never looked the part while losing wickets often. It took only two overs after the tea interval to polish off the innings when wicketkeeper Tre Mason was bowled by off-spinner Ian Boyce for nine after a lengthy stay at the wicket. (AI)
