NATIONAL UNDER-15 batsman Andre Creary scored a century to put defending champions Holmwood in control of their Grace Headley Cup semi-final match against Titchfield entering today's final day at Chedwin Park.
Creary, who hit 104 (11x4, 2x6), and Kemar Lewis, 56, put on 86 for the fifth wicket which helped Holmwood to 315 for five declared.
Ziggy Levy, 42, Marlon Johnson, 43, and Young West Indies player Andre McCarthy, 32, also contributed to Holm-wood's total.
Titchfield will resume today's final day on 24 without loss with Ronique Simpson, 15, and Orlando Watson, seven.
At Alpart: Mannings probably had a better day than they had hoped for by restricting favoured many-time champions St. Elizabeth to 159 for nine before rain ended play an hour after lunch and with 55 overs bowled.
STETHS reached 46 in the 17th over before Jonathon Barry went leg before to left-arm spinner Ralston Levy, who ended the day with a fine 5-48 from 21 overs.
BIG WICKETS
Marlon Saunders took just two wickets, but they were big ones in experienced opener Nickoy Samuels for 39 and STETHS' best batsman, captain Damion Ebanks, for five.
Ebanks looked good until he cut at one which bounced appreciably and was snapped up by wicketkeeper Jerome Wauchope at the second attempt for 22 at 100 for four. Romaine Powell, who was dropped twice, made 35.
