GREENLAND, Tortola, VI - As the BVICA/Flow Superfast LTE 20/20 Leagues continued on Sunday February 18, 2017 the VG Spartans got a tick in the win column with victory over the Island Stars and the defending Premier League Champions, Vincy were soundly beaten by Royal Knights.

In Division One, VG batted first against the Island Stars and posted a respectable 216 for 7.

Shane Sinclair and Alvin Africa scored 45 and 41 respectively and Michael Castello hit 33.

There were two wickets each for Kellon Landon and Wayne Phillip.

In reply, the Island Stars were cruising to a second successive victory in the tournament as Dennis Ford Brown, (36) and Keelan Robin, with the only half-century of the game, 54, from six boundaries and 5 sixes, put on 78 for the first wicket in just 6 overs.

However, the introduction of Castello into the attack dramatically changed the game as he removed both the openers and counted for Gregory James for a single to leave the Island Stars on 102 for 3.

Aaron Dupigny also grabbed 3 wickets and the Island Stars lost their last 7 wickets for 72 runs to be 179 all out.

Elius Phillip hit 21 but seven other batsmen failed to reach double figures.

Castello finished 3 for 36 as did Dupigny.

In the Premier Division, the Vincy were shocked by a rampant Royal Knights who, thanks to five wickets from Anthony Slowly, ripped through the defending champions to leave them 50 for 5.

It didn’t get any better for the Vincy who kept losing wickets to rash shots as they managed to reach a paltry 115 all out.

Top scorer was Ladesh Talla, with 30.
