Under-19s maintain good form

Published: Sunday | August 2, 2009


Jamaica's Under-19 cri-cketers, in search of the coveted regional three-day and one-day double, will today go in search of win number three in the TCL Group WICB U-19 One-Day championship when they take on lowly-placed the Windward Islands at Up Park Camp.

The Jamaicans, who defeated the Leeward Islands by an impressive six wickets at Jamalco yesterday will be seeking to extend their lead atop the leader board, which they presently control with maximum eight points.

The Leewards made 119 off 37overs before Jamaica cruised to 120-4 off 26.5 overs.

Jamaica were guided to victory on inspired bowling performances from pacer Nicholson Gordon, and left-arm spinner, man-of-the-match Patrick Harty, who with 2-34 and 4-31 respectively, wrecked the Leewards' batting.

Captain Paul Palmer Jr, 29, and Ramon Senior, 23, then eased Jamaica to their victory target.

AT ELLETSON ROAD: Guyana beat the Windward Islands by 158 runs.

Scores: Guyana 232 off 49.5 overs. Windwards 74 off 25.3 overs.

AT MELBOURNE: Trinidad & Tobago beat Barbados by seven wickets.

Scores: Barbados 176 all out off 45 overs; T&T 178 for three off 43.1 overs.
