Bridgetown, Barbados - RG Plumbing Coleridge & Parry Old Scholars and fellow northern rural team Alleyne Alumni have snatched the last two semi-final places in the sixth annual Christ Church Foundation School Joel Garner Twenty20 tapeball tournament.
On a wonderful Friday night at Dover and before another big crowd including ICC match officials who are here for the three-match T20 International series between West Indies and England at Kensington Oval on Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday, Coleridge & Parry withstood a stiff challenge from Foundation School to win by five runs, while Alleyne beat Foundation 'B' Old Scholars by 18 runs.
And fans who turned up for the last two quarter-final matches were not left out of the action as for the second consecutive night, tickets for the three T20 Internationals were offered by the West Indies Cricket Board and quickly gobbled up by those who were lucky to answer questions relating to the Garner T20 competition and in general.
Hailing from Ashton Hall, St. Peter, Coleridge & Parry, the 2011 champions, scored 96 for nine off 20 overs after they were sent in.
Dario Cummins topscored with 30 and Roshon Primus contributed 21.
Foundation fought gallantly before they were restricted to 91 for nine.
Seamer Joel Michael Leacock took three for 14, while Cummins picked up two for 11 to win the Baron's Smokehouse $100 Player-of-the-Match award.
Shane Ramsay supported with two for 16 and Primus, two for 21.
And in yet another fairly competitive match, Alleyne, the Belleplaine, St. Andrew side, who were runners-up in 2011 and 2013, scored 112 for nine off 20 overs after winning the toss. The topscore of 22 came from former Barbados leg-spinning all-rounder Ryan "Shines" Layne.
Amahl Nathaniel and Dwayne Alleyne each took two for 15.
Foundation 'B' were limited to 94 for eight.
Former Barbados batsman Randy Thomas had a good time behind the stumps, taking three catches and effecting a stumping.
Jamoe Carrington grabbed two for nine off four overs and was named the Baron's Smokehouse $100 Player-of-the-Match.
