Antoine (7/42) wrecks Parkites in National League

Former Trinidad and Tobago pacer Eugene Antoine rolled back the years yesterday with an inspired seven-wicket spell against Queen’s Park at the Oval, as third round matches in the Carib National League Division One bowled off.

The home team were skittled out for 170 in the face of hostile bowling from Antoine who finished with the remarkable figures of seven for 42. Only a tenacious 51 from skipper Brent Augustus stood between the teams. Clico Preysal were five without loss at the close. In south, Guyanese all-rounder Damodar Dasrath was in great form with the bat, scoring 120 for Clarke Road United against leaders Tile It Central Sports at Wilson Road, Penal. The homesters were bowled out for 234 but not before Dasrath scored a fine 120 that came off 175 balls and included 16 fours and two sixes. At Pierre Road, Charlieville fans were treated to a feast as 364 runs were scored. Police batted first and scored 220 all out with Robert Mahabir getting 92, Amarnath Basdeo, 37, and Imtaz Rojan, 32. At the close, Alescon Comet had rushed to 144 for one as the Lawmen found former national player Clint Yorke difficult to contain. He scored a whirlwind 78. At the close that man Imran Khan was up to his tricks again carving an unbeaten 58. At Diego Martin the defending champions Ceramic Trinidad Merryboys played exactly like that as they dismissed PowerGen for 159. At the close they were six for no wicket.
Matches resume today at 1 pm.
