Trailing by 132 runs, ASCO fared worse as they made 124 all out. Elric Morris made 35. Ray Jordan bagged 5 for 24, as ASCO was condemned to their second successive defeat.

However another team in the Victors clan, Victors Two, had to play second fiddle to Police Two at the Arnos Vale One Playing Field, losing on first innings.

The lawmen batted first and posted 183 all out, led by 55 from Rolando Wright.

Denis Byam took 3 for 39; Roland Wilkinson – 3 for 58 and Kennard Adams- 2 for 22, bowling for Victors Two.
