Wicketkeeper Chadwick Walton slammed six sixes off one over for Kingston, and Damion Foster made a 42-ball 106 for Kingston and St Andrew as action continued in the new-look Jamaica Cricket Association JAM Twenty20 Championship on Sunday. Walton, who, in the absence of Carlton Baugh Jr, played a crucial role in Jamaica retaining the regional four-day title and winning of the recent regional Super50 championship, helped Kingston to an 86-run win over Lucas at Up Park Camp. Kingston, electing to bat, made 220 for two off their allotment of overs with Walton (56) hitting the maximum off off-spinner Ricardo Ennis. Opener Simon Jackson topscored with an unbeaten 82, while Brian Latore made 71. Lucas, in reply, were then restricted to 134-7 with spinner Frederick Hermit claiming 2-26, and Fabian Forbes 2-29. Foster's century came in Kingston and St Andrew's massive 253-run win over Boys' Town at Maxfield Park. Kingston and St Andrew made 301-5 with Foster slamming seven sixes and nine fours during his knock, and Richard Allen getting 66 off 24 balls. Boys' Town, in response, were restricted to 48-4 off 10 overs. The result moved Kingston to the top of Group C with maximum eight points, the same as St Thomas, who recorded a 40-run win over 50-overs champions Jamaica Defence Force (JDF), also at Up Park Camp. St Thomas, electing to bat after winning the toss, posted 175-5 with Marvin Darlington getting 40 against Sheldon Cotterell 2-10. The JDF, in reply, despite a good 38 from Joseph Palmer, could only manage 134 off 18.5 overs with Darlington returning to claim 4-18. Kingston and St Andrew, with the victory, moved to second in Group D behind 50-overs beaten finalists Melbourne, who narrowly defeated Kensington by 11 runs in the second game of Maxfield Park's double header. Melbourne posted 190-7 with Donovan Pagon getting 50 and Andre McCarthy 48. Kensington were then limited to 179-7 with McCarthy claiming two wickets for no runs. David Bernard Jr 78 not out made most runs for the men from east Kingston. In other results at the Spanish Town Prison Oval, defending champions St Catherine CC, on the back of 4-10 from Odean Brown and 46 from Oraine Williams, defeated St Catherine CA by four wickets in Group F. St Catherine CA made 120-7 and St Catherine CC, in response, reached 125-6. At the Ultimate Sports Complex, St Ann, thanks to an unbeaten 73 from John Campbell, recorded a 46-run win over Portland. St Mary, courtesy of a bowl-off, defeated Police in Group E. St Ann made 175-5 and Portland, in reply, were restricted to 129, while Marlon Byfield was the only person to hit the wicket for St Mary in the bowl-off. At Manley Morne Park, St Elizabeth, led by Brenton Parchment's 4-15 and 33 from Cassius Burton, defeated Manchester by one wicket, while GC Foster and Clarendon had to settle for a no-result due to rain in Group B at Manley Morne Park. In the first match, Manchester made 152-7, and St Elizabeth, in response, got home at 156-9. |
