Wray All Stars won the toss and chose to bat.  They were bundled out for just 90 in 18.1 overs.  Former national and West Indies player Nehemiah Perry’s top score of 44 could not save them nor could former national representative Randy Nelson’s 21.  The first wicket to go was that of former national representative Wayne Lewis for a duck to Davis.  Davis took the hat trick in his second spell sending back Neil Moore – 0, Dennis Moore – 0 and Raymond Gayle also for 0.  Lloyd Spence and Layton Brown took 3 wickets each for 14 and 17 respectively.
