BORIS HUTCHINSON, Ziggy Levy and David Powell shared nine wickets for Holmwood Technical to break St. Elizabeth Technical's stranglehold on the rural area WILCO/Headley Cup cricket title through a 28-run win over the defending champions in the final at Chedwin Park yesterday.
Pacer Hutchinson took three for 18, off-spinner Levy three for 25 and left-arm spinner Powell three for 30 as 1999-2002 champions St. Elizabeth Technical, resuming on 31 for two and chasing 135 for victory, were blown away for 108.
Final scores in the low scoring three-day match, Holmwood 142 and 102; STETHS 109 and 108.
Starting yesterday's final day needing 105 runs for victory with eight wickets in hand and with captain Shawn Findlay on 10 and Davian Davidson at the other end on 12, STETHS must have fancied their chances. However, they succumbed to a determined and disciplined Holmwood bowling attack that never gave anything away.
Davidson was the first to go, caught behind by wicket-keeper Donovan Sinclair off Levy for 13 after adding one to his overnight score at 43 for three. Vinard Woolcock joined his captain and the two batted well to take the score to 88 when the former, trying to attack new bowler Hutchinson, provided Omar Watson with an easy catch at square leg to fall for 21.
Powell came back into the attack from the northern end and with Hutchinson operating from the other, STETHS lost five wickets in four overs.
Despite slipping to 99 for eight, STETHS' hopes were still high with national Under-19 batsman Findlay still at the crease.
Such dreams faded when their score reached 107 as Findlay, on 47, was given out stumped to push the boys from Christiana closer to victory.
Holmwood wrapped up victory and the 2003 WILCO/Headley Cup title when Levy bowled last man Marlon Miller for one.
