St. David's do the double
St. David's completed the Commercial Cricket League double when they overcame showers and lightning to beat Watford Sports Club by three wickets in a thrilling final at Lord's yesterday.
Watford twice fought back to give the league champions a scare after being sent in.
Watford appeared down and out when they slumped to 44 for seven, George Cannonier snapping up four for 16, but Blake West hit an unbeaten 58 and number 10 Troy Berkeley 36 to lift the west enders to 166, the last two wickets producing 100 runs.
In reply St. David's coasted to 119 for two, thanks to Shea Pitcher (46) and Allen Richardson (40), but five wickets tumbled for 40 runs before skipper George O'Brien sealed victory with a four and six in the 32nd over off West (three for 25).
Scores: Watford Sports Club 166 in 35.3 overs, St. David's 169 for seven in 31.4 overs.
