In the morning fixture at Eve Leary, Prison Service got the better of Fire Service by two wickets. Batting first, Fire Service managed 139-9 in 20 overs. Stephan Adams scored 29, Quacy Mentore 19 and Grayson Paul 14. Quain Proctor snared three scalps while Cameron and Kesrick Thomson had two each.
Prison Service reached 140-8 in 19.2 overs in reply. Carl Bowen slammed 49 (3×4 5×6) while Thompson hit 32 (4×4). Stephan Adams picked 3-20 and Malcolm Morris 2-15. At GDF, City Constabulary went down to Police by eight wickets.
