In game two, it was a much anticipated clash between Charlestown Primary and Ivor Walters Primary
Ivor Walters batted first and scored a competitive 81 for 3 from the 12 allotted overs, with Kenron Freeman muscling 28 not out.
The big question was-Was the total enough?
At one point, with Justin Athanaze motoring along quite smoothly, the CPS team seemed in control of the game but a few crucial wickets, made a telling impact on the outcome.
The CPS team fell just 10 runs short but that was enough reason for the IWPS team and their fan base to celebrate.
