Commercial Cricket League on Sunday with a four-wicket win over the West Enders while Forties turned the tables on title-chasing Pembroke United to pick up their first league victory of the season.

Both matches were low-scoring affairs which leave WIA six points clear of Sandys and 151 points ahead of Pembroke.

The future of St. David's, who had a bye on Sunday and are due to visit Sandys this weekend, remains in doubt.

Skipper Elliott Pitcher said yesterday he was to have further talks with his players as well as club officials.

Pitcher, whose side forfeited the points in their last league match when they walked off before the end of a cliff-hanger against Pembroke, said his players had become dismayed over umpiring decisions that had gone against them.

If St. David's decide not to continue only four clubs will remain -- a far cry from 1988 when there were 11 teams in the league -- following the withdrawal of North Village at the half-way point of this season because of a shortage of players. Village completed only one match.

League secretary Dave Carruthers said he would draw up a new schedule if St.

David's quit with the four remaining clubs likely to wind up playing each other at least three times in the league.

Sent in on Sunday at Shelly Bay, Sandys never recovered from losing Michael Corday for nought to the second ball of the innings, caught in the gully off skipper Jerry Callender, and were dismissed for 108 in the 41st over.

Callender, who has taken over the captaincy from the vacationing Randy Liverpool, finished with two for 24 from 14 overs.

Slow bowler Barry Walkes picked up four for 23 from 22 balls but the bowling honours went to 60-year-old pace bowler George Rock whose three for 16 from seven overs included the prized wicket of top scorer Terry Ward, caught at mid-on for 29 from a miscued pull.

Blake West rallied the lower order with an unbeaten 27.

WIA, who "outpointed'' Sandys in a drawn season opener, reached their target with 11 overs to spare but lost six wickets in the process, left-arm slow bowler David DeSilva being the pick of the attack with three for 18 from five overs.

Andy Boyce was WIA's top scorer with 29 while Olwin Clarke, in his first game back after being sidelined with a serious shoulder injury, hit 25.

Boundaries were also in short supply at Garrison Field where long grass proved a major handicap to run-getting but the game produced an exciting finish with Forties rallying to win by 26 runs as Adrian Jennings marked his return to his former club with a telling four-wicket burst.

Sent in, Forties' openers Gary Edwards and Mark Melvin withstood the opening pace attack of David Gibbs and Michael Campbell to put on 40 but second-change bowler George Fisher gained the breakthrough when he had acting skipper Edwards well caught at deep gully by Norman Godwin for 15.

Fisher (two for 13) added the wicket of Jennings and Junior Lindo chipped in with the wickets of Andrew Paynter and opener Mark Melvin (24) in his two for 17 to leave Forties struggling at 57 for four in the 25th over.

Veteran Gerald Simons -- at 54 the oldest player in the team but still one of the fittest -- loosened Pembroke's grip on the game, hitting a six and four fours in an aggressive knock of 28 and adding a quickfire 25 for the fifth wicket with Gladwin (Chief) Ingham.

The partnership was broken when Gibbs (three for 38) returned to the attack to have Ingham caught at mid-off from a full toss and then bowled Simons as the batsman tried to cut a superb off-cutter which hit middle stump.

A late fling by Sanjika Samaranayake, who hit three fours in an unbeaten 24, helped Forties close at 130 for nine. Campbell also struck in his second spell, finishing with two for 39.

Pembroke started badly, stumbling to 16 for three as they lost leading batsman Mike Young to Paynter for a duck, Godwin for seven and skipper Ian Coke for six.

Gibbs and Campbell repaired the early damage with a stand of 68 that put Pembroke on course to complete the league double over Forties -- the team they will meet in the final of the League Cup later in the season -- but the introduction of Jennings, the sixth bowler used, turned the game on its head.

Medium pacer Jennings, in his first game in Bermuda this season, bowled Gibbs for a fine 41 that contained five fours, triggering a major collapse that saw the final seven wickets tumble for the addition of just 20 runs.

Campbell soon followed Gibbs, out for 21 sweeping Oscar Andrade. Ingham, who took the well-judged catch, followed up the early wicket of Coke by claiming two more to finish with the impressive figures of three for 13 from 11 overs.

Jennings, who played for Safeguard Security last season, wrapped up the victory when he bowled Carl Cherrington for two to emerge with the equally impressive figures of four for 14 from 5.2 overs as Pembroke crashed to 104 all out in the 34th over.
