Off spinners Joseph Ledwridge bagged 5 for 18 and Claymont Rose had 3 for 15.

But Middlesex never came to grips in their reply, as they were dismissed for 79.

Andre Kirton with 25 and Alston Bacchus 22 were the only batsmen to offer any resistance to the Panthers, bowling.

Noursherwan Adil tore through the Middlesex batting order, grabbing 4 for 2.

On Saturday, an all Vincy clash is slated for Marine Park C, when Queensbury and Imperial face off.

Also on Saturday, another Vincentian team, Cavaliers, take on Sheffield at Marine Park A, and at Marine Park D, Middlesex engages Guyanese outfit Diplomats.

On Sunday, June 3, another all Vincy clash is there for decision at Marine Park C, as Middlesex and Cavaliers battle each other for supremacy.

The other match sees Queensbury meeting Panthers at Marine Park A. (RT)
