Petit Bordel responded well reaching 233 for 6 with six overs and two balls to spare.

Kesrick Williams led the successful chase with 85. Ronique Laborde contributed 62.

Zane Edwards 3 for 42 and Krishorn Gonsalves 2 for 38 bowled in a losing cause.

The following day, Tuesday, Georgetown overcame the Barrouallie Secondary by 51 runs at the Calliaqua Playing Field.

The Harper clan were in the limelight as Georgetown made 229. Andy led the way with 49, Teran 25 and Wayne 23.They sandwiched other good contributions from Julius Jack 41 and Desron Lavia 26.

Marcus John 3 for 45, Vicasy John 2 for 24 and Roydon Dickson 2 for 41 shared the bowling spoils for that Central Leeward institution.
