At the Southside Bowl in St. David's, St. George's won convincingly with a final score of 434.71 against Somerset's 408.94. Twenty four bowlers represented St. George's while 16 wore Somerset's colours.

Meanwhile, at the Warwick Bowl, 31 bowlers representing Somerset were victorious over the same number of St. George's players. The final score was Somerset 487.03 and St. George's 486.89.

CRICKET

Bermuda Cricket Board announced yesterday that all of this Saturday's scheduled Premier and First Division Knockout Cup semi-final matches had been switched to August 17.

Some players, particularly those involved in Cup Match, had reportedly been unhappy with the prospect of having to play on four straight days as Premier League games are also scheduled for Sunday.

The Premier KO semi-finals pit Willow Cuts against Southampton Rangers and St. David's against Western Stars while in the First Division competition Devonshire Rec take on Bailey's Bay and Flatts meet LegTrappers.
