Better-Hope Raptors (BHR) were roughed-up by the BCCA batting with the in-form Rawle Merrel blasting another half century in this competition with 62 with eight fours and three sixes.
Ryan Meusa 32 and Rawle Fredericks 27, give excellent support to Merrel as BCCA, losing wickets very quickly, were bowled out in 28 over for 225 as Mustafa Azimulla had 3-27.
BHR in reply lost quick wickets as Rawle Fredericks 3-33 and Anthony McFarlane 3-38 proved too difficult to handle. Ricknauth Rooplall, 50 with seven fours and two sixes, was the only batsman from BHR to offer resistance as they were bowled out for 146 in 22 overs to hand Buxton ‘A’ victory by 79 runs.
