CHARLESTOWN, Nevis –Talented West Indies Under-19 batsman Kieran Powell made a sparkling 85 on his regional first-class debut and Leeward Islands reached 402 for eight at the close on the first day of their final round Carib Beer Series match against Combined, Campuses and Colleges at Grove Park yesterday.

In a game that has no bearing on the championship, three other batsmen, Devon Thomas, Runako Morton and Tonito Willett also scored half-centuries. (WG)
