Tunapuna Pres, Bonne Aventure cop Atlantic cricket titles

San Francique batted first and scored 62 runs for eight wickets in 10 overs. Tight bowling by the Tunapuna boys ensured that the victory target was not out of reach.

When they took to the crease, Tunapuna Presbyterian led by Jonah Mohammed looked at ease and won the game with 4.1 overs to spare.

Mohammed scored an unbeaten 40 to the delight of his schoolmates.

And Bonne Aventure Presbyterian were crowned the champions girls school after they defeated Cunaripo by four wickets, also at the Queen’s Park Oval.

The star of the show for Bonne Aventure was Amanda Farrow who produced a fine all-round display to give her school the title.

Bonne Aventure batted first and scored 79 for six wickets with Farrow leading the way with 27. Cunaripo were expected to get past this score but lost wickets regularly and this affected their momentum charging towards the score.

Farrow was the best of the bowlers for Bonne Aventure taking two wickets for six runs.

Cunaripo were determined however and it came down to the last ball with four runs needed but Bonne Aventure held their nerve and, although Cunaripo were able to squeeze out two runs, they found themselves still short by one.
