Defending winners Team Rivals, Guardian General Saints, Victors One and Combined Youths kept their winning record in place.

Rivals made light work of Radcliffe Too at Sion Hill. Harley struck his second half century in as many matches – 60 and Marvin Small – 29, to see Rivals to 152 for 3 from their 20 overs.

Radcliffe Too was dismissed for 91. Kensley Joseph made 37.

Deighton Butler – 3 for 14 and Olanzo Jackson – 2 for 12, were the lead bowlers for Team Rivals.

Similarly, Saints made it three wins from three, dismissing Bequia by nine wickets at Arnos Vale Two.

Bequia scored 119; Chelson Stowe made 29 and Mesach Williams – 28.

Raydon Bentick led Smashers’ batting as he struck 69, to see his team to 133. Marlon Farrell grabbed 4 for 9, bowling for Combined Youths.

Frankie Farrell – 74, then navigated Combined Youths to 135 for 4. Anthony Charles took 2 for 23, in a losing cause for Smashers.

But it was a case of one up, one down for Bequia and ASCO, who both were victorious in their first outings Saturday morning.

Bequia overcame Triumph United at Arnos Vale One and ASCO outdid Police One at Arnos Vale Two.

ASCO, led by Renrick Williams’ 52 and 27 from Kelshun Da Silva, managed 124 for 9.

Sylvan Spencer copped 3 for 7 and Vertil Davis – 2 for 33, but Police One could only respond with 104 for 9, giving ASCO the win by 20 runs.
