Antigua St John's - Pigotts hosted Bolans and sent the ‘Round South’ team home losers by 66 runs in the 30-over Parish League cricket tournament on Thursday.

Bolans won the toss and sent the home team in to bat - and that might have been a mistake, as openers Otis Thomas and Ajani Frederick got off to a relatively good start.

The two put on 30 runs before Frederick went for 14.

Pigotts went on to score 206 for seven wickets in a penalized 26 overs, four short of the allotted quota.

Thomas, a usual at the Cedar Valley Golf course with his powerful drives off the tee, took his swing to the cricket field for Pigotts with a team-high 46 runs.
Five boundaries decorated Thomas’ innings before he went LBW to Earl Waldron.

Thomas had good assistance from Trish Phillip 25, and Dean Williams 24.

Waldron finished with two wickets for 42 runs while Rodney Williams and Winston Nelson had a wicket each for Bolans.

The chase was always going to be a tough one for the visitors and it showed early, as the home team grabbed wickets at regular intervals.

By the ninth over Bolans were 29 for two and the home team looked on the way to victory, which came at the end of 27 overs.

Bolans lost eight wickets after posting 140 runs, and Pigotts got the easy victory.

Williams, Dwayne Vinbial and Craig Renford shared six wickets, two each, with Williams being the most economical giving up 21 runs.

Renford and Vinbial gave up 27 and 32 runs, respectively.
