largely indebted to Cleon Scotland who, along with Hasam Durham, rescued them against Devonshire Rec. in the Central Counties Cup final.

Scotland heads a quality Fab Five this week and is joined by Rodney Woolridge of Flatts, Kenny Phillips of St. George's, Lionel Cann of St. David's and Albert Steede of Devonshire Rec.

Cleon Scotland: It is very easy to get lost on the shuffle of a batting order that includes Andre Manders, Arnold Manders and Jeff Richardson in the 3-4-5 slot, but Scotland at number six is beginning to look the part. Stars were in deep trouble at 80 for five with 25 overs left before Scotland and Durham added 110 for the sixth wicket. The union not only rescued Stars but manufactured a psychological barrier for Devonshire they could not breach.

Scotland made 64 and then broke Rec.'s back with a direct hit for the valuable run-out of Albert Steede. Followed up the next day with 50 against Somerset, his third half-century this season and a diving catch in covers off Winston Reid to further enhance his growing reputation as a promising fielder.

Rodney Woolridge: Other than the first two weeks of the season, nothing has come easy for Police and Woolridge made sure of that. An unbeaten 103 at number five was the backbone of Flatts' 224 for eight at Devonshire Rec.

field. Successful with chasing 264 the previous week, Flatts' total on a small field appeared reachable, but the pressure was on once the first five wickets fell for 52.

Kenny Phillips: Frustrated by inability to win starting place back in national team, this performance of six for 24 against Willow Cuts was a real confidence-booster. Was six for seven from seven overs at one stage after Cuts cut their own throats by winning the toss and batting on a soft pitch in overcast conditions.

Lionel Cann: Second successive week in the ascendancy. Either bowled or trapped leg before his victims in six-for-nine showing, which says little for the Social Club batsmen. Followed that up by making 32 not out after coming in with the Islanders struggling at 17 for three.

Albert Steede: No one needed a good knock as much as the beleaguered Devonshire Rec. and Bermuda captain. His leadership qualities have come in question after recent losses to St. David's and Western Stars. But a score of 103 not out against PHC, despite giving a half-chance first ball, was what the doctor ordered.
