showed himself to be no slouch with the cricket bat either when he stroked an unbeaten 46 to lead North Village to a four wicket win over the `Rest of the World' in the annual match for the Stickers Hendrickson Trophy.

Scores: Rest 108, North Village 109-6.

After the Rest were dismissed for 108 in 27.3 of their allotted 30 overs, North Village needed just 23 overs to reach their target.

Noel (Red) Smith was high man for the Rest with 28 while Cal Dill and Frank Morgan both scored 13. No other batsmen reached double figures as 23 extras helped them pass 100.

Mike Levon claimed three for 18 from six overs and Derek Bell two for 25 in five overs.

Village lost their first three wickets on 12 and the fourth with 22 runs on the board before a stand of 52 for the fifth wicket between Bean and captain Cleve Trott (16) got them back in the match. Levon finished not out on 13.

Kim Pitt and Frank Morgan did the early damage, each taking two wickets for the Rest.

The Bermuda Regiment Officer's Mess delivered a sound thrashing to the Warrant Officer's and Sergeant's Mess on Saturday with a six wicket win in the annual cricket match at Shelly Bay field.
