Spartans scored 153 all out, with Kissinger Mc lean, 40, and Teron Miller, 27 not out.

Bowling for Radcliffe Dyke Cato had 3 for 39 and Andy Harper, 2 for 30.

In their second innings Spartans made 193 all out; Omar Lavia scored 83, Dawnley Joseph, 46 not out, and Seon Sween, 34. Dyke Cato completed another 10-wicket match haul, as he bagged 7 for 89, to finish with 10 for 128.
