St Leonard’s champs

Article by Ezra Stuart

ST LEONARD’S BOYS’ are now not only kings of secondary schools cricket in Barbados but also the Sir Garfield Sobers International Schools champions.

The Richmond Gap-based side added more silverware to their trophy cabinet when they defeated first-time finalists, Hamilton Lashley Foundation (HLF), by 17 runs in the final at Kensington Oval yesterday to capture the title for the first time.

Sent in, St Leonard’s rallied from dire straits of 67-6 to 134 all out in 35.1 overs, mainly through a responsible top score of 38 off 62 balls with four boundaries by all-rounder Damario Goodman, who batted at No. 7.
