Sunrise Cricket Club and Steve’s Building Works Welchman Hall both scored overwhelming victories over Transport North and Lucky Horseshoe/S.Y. Adams Welches to take the Everton Weekes and the Garfield Sobers Cups, respectively, before a lively crowd.
An expertly paced second wicket partnership between youngsters Zachary McCaskie and Jafari Toppin lifted Sunrise to a seven-wicket win over the “Northeners” in the morning fixture while Welchman Hall romped to victory over defending champions Welches by 55 runs in the afternoon’s feature match.
McCaskie smacked half a dozen fours and a couple of sixes in a knock of 62 that earned him the Man Of The Match award after he and Toppin (36) had posted 94 in pursuit of 126 for six made by the “Transporters” who won the toss.
