Jermaine Harrison ... scored 100 for Bridgeview. - Anthony Minott

Bridgeview's opening batsman, Jermaine Harrison, has described his century in last Sunday's Wray and Nephew-sponsored Twenty20 cricket final as very 'special'.

Harrison's century pushed his team to a comprehensive nine-wicket win over G.C. Foster College in

a match played at the Bridgeport Sports Ground.

"It was a special innings because it came in a final. My teammates knew I have it in me and they helped me through the innings," he said. "(Before this innings) I was kind of struggling for runs in the Senior Cup so it was a timely innings and I hope I can continue this form heading into next season," Harrison said.

For now, Harrison, who is a member of the Jamaica Defence Force (JDF), said he will take a rest then "do some training for my next competition for the JDF, which is the Senior Cup."

Harrison, 27, still believes he is young enough to get a national call in the near future. "That's my main goal, I would love to represent my country," he said.

Harrison was a standout cricketer for Tacky High in St Mary over a decade ago, and won numerous trophies but he feels players from rural-based schools do not get the recognition they deserve.

"For the most part, players from 'country' schools aren't recognised when it comes to sports. Playing in Kingston and linking with people like, Delroy Morgan, a former national player, has given me more exposure," he said.

This is his fifth Twenty20 century but his first in more than a year.

"I made a century for Waltham Park Police Youth Club last year but the runs weren't coming for sometime, so I'm happy I'm back to my best," he said.

Harrison slammed the ball to all parts of the ground as he made his 100 off just 44 balls. He hit nine fours, and eight sixes. He hit a six to bring up his 100 in the 11th over but wasn't able to carry his bat through the innings, as he fell leg before to Oshane Nation. Veteran cricketer Darren Powell hit the winning runs, much to the delight of the Bridgeview camp. Oneil Weir, unbeaten on 26, batted solidly as Harrison carried the attack to the G.C. Foster bowlers.

G.C. Foster batted first and scored a below par 138-7 off their allotted 20 overs. Two batsmen, Wayne Morgan (35 runs) and Gavin Wallace (33 runs) had starts but fell going for quick runs. Rajiv Chatrie was not out at the end on 30. Frederick Hermit (3-13), and Colin Buchanan (2-30), took most wickets for Bridgeview. Harrison was deservedly given the Man of the Match award.
