The Runako Morton/TDC Primary schools’ Cricket tournament, officially got on the way on Thursday 30th May.
The first game saw the defending champions, Ivor Walters Primary, coming up against the St. Thomas’ Primary School.
In front of a fair sized crowd, which included some adoring parents, the St. Thomas’ Primary team batted first and got to 75 for 5 in their allotted 15 overs. Jaheim Liburd led the batting with his 19 runs.
Anthony Stephens was the main bowler for the Ivor Walters team, with his 2 for 21.
In response, Omari Jones and Lythe Browne, got the Ivor Walters team off to a great start and when Jones departed, Kenion Freeman came to the crease and apparently had a plane to catch, because he hammered 4 fours and a maximum in his 23 not out, to seal victory for his team.
