Westmoreland, St Mary, Kgn/St Andrew 'B' are county champions
After five rounds of matches in the Kingston Wharves Under-15 cricket competition, Westmoreland, St Mary and Kingston/St Andrew 'B' are the county champions. Westmoreland are the only parish not to lose a match - their final match ended in a no result due to rain. The inter-county phase of the competition will now get under way tomorrow with matches at GC Foster and Chedwin Park in St Catherine, with the finals to be played on Wednesday at Sabina Park.
The featured match of the fifth round was played at Bybrook Cricket Ground in St Catherine, with the home side, St Catherine, taking on St Ann. St Ann needed to win in order to be crowned county champions but it was not to be as they were routed by St Catherine in a match that went down to the last over. St Catherine made a fighting 147 for 9 in 40 overs (reduced from 50 because of rain) to defeat St Ann by five runs after they scored 142 all out in 39.3 overs.
Five other matches were played in the fifth round: St Elizabeth defeated Hanover at Rusea's by six wickets after making 55 for 4 in 15 overs to Hanover's 50 all out in 20 overs; the Westmoreland vs Trelawny match at Allan Rae Oval was rained out; St Mary walked over Clarendon by 229 when they made 273 for 6 in 40 overs to Clarendon's 44 all out in 20.3 overs; Kingston/St Andrew 'B' took the match away from St Thomas by 6 wickets when they made 172 for 3 from 29.2 overs and the Portland vs Kingston/St Andrew 'A' match ended in a no result due to rain.
