On show will be two units on different extremes of the life span spectrum.

Eat Rite Saints, around for close to fifty years, takes on the newest kids on the block, Combined Youths.

But it has been a dream start to the national Cricket competition for Combined Youths.

After successfully coming through the preliminary round, Combined Youths scolded Log Enterprises Masters to reach the finals.

They only needed first innings points to set them through.

Combined Youths replying to Log Enterprises Masters’ 95 reached 104 for 6. Ozico Williams led the way with 33, as Harvey Pope had 2 for 16 and Jimmy Sam, 2 for 21.

When Log Masters batted, Romario Bibby took 3 for 29, Kevin Lorraine, 3 for 42 and Desron Samuel, 2 for 5, bowling for Combined Youths.

And, Eat Rite Saints, which was relegated from the RBTT Premier Division this year, has a chance to be back at the top flight.

In their semi final match up with ASCO, they got the necessary first innings points to the ahead.

Saints took first knock and scored 223. Felix Greaves hit 69. Walford Ambris contributed 41 and Amreal Bobb, 36. Wendell Glasgow took 3 for 17 and Diego Lapremiveira, 2 for 43.

Responding, ASCO was dismissed for 75. Darren Greaves struck 30, as both Bobb and Greaves were among the wickets with 5 for 25 and 2 for 10, respectively.

The RBTT Premier division has already been won by OLA Boutique Radcliffe, with Packers United making way for either Saints or Combined Youths. Packers, in turn, heads to the Bottlers First Division next season. (RT)
