In Saturday’s first match, RSVG Police, playing the first of their back-to-back matches, defeated Sharps United by three wickets. Batting first, Sharps United reached 143 for 7 off 15 overs, as the match was reduced because of a late start. Leading the way for Sharps United was Christopher Howe, who stroked 55. There were two wickets each for Elmore Alexander, Kenneth Dember and Parnel Browne, bowling for the law enforcers.

In reply, RSVG Police got to 145 for 7 off 14 overs; Kenneth Dember – 38 and Parnel Browne – 28, were the main contributors. Terry Williams had 2 for 21 and Hosani Porter 2 for 29, in a losing cause for Sharps United. But RSVG Police did not sustain the momentum and fell to Carlos James Troumaca Starlight by one wicket. RSVG Police were dismissed for 105 off 15.4 overs, with Darell Sam hitting 29.

Bowling for Troumaca Starlight, Kentish John picked off 3 for 22, Zimron Providence 3 for 23 and Kwando Lewis 3 for 25. Troumaca Starlight then made 109 for 9 off 18.4 overs. Their lead batsman was Leshawn Lewis, who stroked 32, while Parnel Browne had 3 for 12 and Elmore Alexander 3 for 22, bowling for RSVG Police.
