Woolford’s 121 powers Golden Grove to victory
Powered by a disdainful 121 from 20-year-old Richard Woolford, Golden Grove defeated Mon Repos by 157 runs on Sunday at the Buxton ground in the East Coast Cricket Board’s Elizabeth Style 40-over cricket tournament.
Woolford utilized a good track and fast outfield to smash nine fours in his ton and added 152 for the second wicket with Terrence King after opener Terry Gardner (5) departed at 5-1. King batted in royal fashion in an entertaining 86 decorated with 10 fours and a six while Keshon DeSilva (15*) and Ishun Gardener (12) rallied Golden Grove to an imposing 259-4 in the game which, in sunny conditions, was reduced a 25-over affair.
Mon Repos were bowled out for 102 in 17.1 overs; 21-year-old DeSilva snatched 4-4 in a tight spell. He got support from Orin Gardener (3-39) and Woolford who took 2-15.
