The Nevis over 35’s finally got some match vibes on the way, as they prepare for the upcoming Luther Kelly 35 and over tournament, slated for St. Kitts, this coming weekend.
On Sunday 17th October, with the rain holding up sufficiently to allow for a match, the players took to the field, at the VOJN grounds.
Although short of a few players, the youthful members of the New Vision club, helped to make up the numbers and make the game interesting.
Wallace won the toss and elected to bat first and scored an impressive 155 in their 20 allotted overs, with Tyrie Jeffers and Marvin Hamilton, leading the way with 41 runs each.
The Merlin Liburd team could only muster 114 at the end, with Peter Charles unbeaten with an impressive 33.
