The action in the ongoing league, hosted by the Nevis Cricket Association, continued at the VOJN grounds, on Saturday 28th November.
Empire engaged Highlights. Highlights won the toss and elected to bat first.
After a steady start to the innings, suddenly, the Highlights team catapulted to just 104 all out, in 18.1 overs.
You would think that the Empire team would regard the total as ‘easy pickings?’ Not so, with this wonderful game of cricket!
The Empire men seemed in control, when they moved from 72 for 6, to 102 for the same 6.
Then it happened.
Lyte Browne had Jacel Allen caught and then 102 for 6, became 102 for 9.
Empire somehow managed to limp across the line, to secure the victory.

Highlights 104 all out in 18.1 overs: Virgil Browne 24; Bervis Burke 22; Mikyle Louis 20
