Simmons hits 99 not out vs Parkites

At the Diego Martin Recreation Ground, Simmons was left one short of a century mark in the Group "A" match, while fellow opener Mario Belcon raced to a quickfire 32.

The Invaders-Defence Force fixture, in Group "A" failed to get going yesterday due to a soggy outfield, and the game should start today, weather permitting.

Ex-national off-spinner Rodney Sooklal captured three wickets for 12 runs as Joe Public Munroe Road were restricted to 94 for six at home to Alescon Comets in Group "B". Kapil Harry topscored for the hosts with 31.

In another Group "B" matchup, British American Aranjuez Sports amassed 174 for six against Las Lomas Sports at Aranjuez with Trevon Garraway slamming 61.
