Spaulding Cup is still on apparently

As it was in the semifinal of the under-19 competition when they outlasted STETHS, there had to be a good all-round display from Manchester who were fought all the way.

Batting first, Manchester amassed 181-5 from their 20 overs, thanks to a smashing innings from Brian Barnes, 40, and Rhevon Morgan, an unbeaten 47. In reply, STETHS gave as good as they got but only managing 159-7 before running out of deliveries in the run chase.

Manchester will now play urban champions Excelsior for the Spalding Cup, a symbol of schoolboy cricket dominance, as well as go into the Super 8 All-Island T20 competition, possibly with a chance of mining four titles.


By the way, Big Up Coach Barry Barnes..That man used to make my life flash in front of my eyes facing him and a red plastic compound ball without a helmet on the then concrete strip at Chester. My word he was lighting quick!
