27-run victory in a low-scoring match on Sunday while Lucozade Leg Trappers and Forties kept the pressure on the Commercial Cricket League leaders with convincing wins.

Police, who hold a narrow three and a half point lead over Watford going into the second half of the season, restricted Watford to 138 for nine but were then bundled out in the 27th over for 111 after racing to 22 without loss from the first two overs at Police Field.

The combination of Oscar Andrade's tantalising leg-spin, which earned him club-best figures of six for 57, and a sublime unbeaten 79 by 20-year-old left-hander Rohaan Simons spurred Forties to a six-wicket win at Shelly Bay, ending Jamaican Association's three-match winning streak.

The match at Garrison Field was over in under 36 overs, Lucozade routing West End Warriors for 46 and then knocking off the runs for the loss of two wickets.

Watford, who have a game in hand, were pegged down by some tight Police bowling, openers Ray DeSilva and an unusually restrained Terry Corday adding only 30 in the first hour.

When the West Enders tried to lift the tempo later they fell victim to medium pacer Jim Walters who claimed five for 26 from nine overs. There were also two wickets each for Dawson Dates and Sam Davis.

Skipper Corday topscored with 32 and his brother Michael and son Terence chipped in 26 apiece.

Chris Graham-Ward (9) and Roosevelt Maronie (14) gave Police a flying start with an opening stand of 22 but three wickets then fell for just one run.

Big-hitting Devonish Small hammered four fours and a six in a quickfire 32 and skipper Grant Tomkins made 20, the pair adding 41 for the fifth wicket before Terry Corday (three for 19) removed both of them. Terence Corday finished with four for 33 from 6.3 overs.

Opener Mike Young struck five fours and two sixes in his 58, adding 80 for the second wicket with skipper Michael Campbell (24) to carry the total to 85 for one but Andrade bamboozled the Jamaican Association with his leg breaks and they subsided to 147 all out in the 38th over.

Andrade began the Jamaican Association's downfall when he had Campbell stumped by Tim Bridges and he followed up with the dismissals of David Gibbs (0), Ian Coke (17), Arthur Dublin (16), George Fisher (8) and Rowan Ramotar (5) in a 13-over spell.

Rohaan Simons was given a searching examination by Jamaican Association's five-pronged pace attack, spearheaded by Gibbs and Campbell.

But fleet-footed Simons, who is also a member of the national soccer squad, was equal to the task and, mixing caution and aggression, scored all around the wicket in a scintillating knock in which he stroked 10 fours and a six, easing Forties home in the 36th over.

Gibbs, who earlier in the season injured two Police batsmen at Garrision Field, claimed another victim with Forties 12 runs from victory. Andrew Paynter was forced to retire hurt on 16 when he was hit in the face trying to evade a rising ball from Gibbs and needed seven stitches in hospital to close a long gash in his chin.

Noel Capewell, with three for three in six overs, helped dismiss West End Warriors for a paltry 46 in the 22nd over. There were also two wickets each for David Wright, Roddy Moore and Ian Falconer.

Ronald Gibbons, who took over the captaincy for the day from Gladstone Eve, topscored with 13 after winning the toss and choosing to bat.

Eve (two for 12) picked up the wickets of James Sparrow and Jeremy Franklin with only 10 on the board but Gary Knight (20 not out) and Graham Strange (19 not out) collected the remaining runs, Lucozade reaching 50 for two in just 12.4 overs.
