In last Sunday's second semi-final, Tryall defeated Southside by 23 runs. Tryall, in their 33 overs, scored 287. Hyde Bent, 46, and Allen Powell, 31, led the way for Tryall against Damion Parchment, 4-49, and Vineyard Woolcock, 2-42. In reply, Southside were bowled out for 264 in 32 overs. Uwan Andrews led the way with 75 while Courtney Nembhard chipped in with 43. Kenroy Ross took 3-26 and Damion Bryce 3-61 to lead Tryall into the final. Barbary Hall win Dr Tufton title Barbary Hall Primary capped an impressive season in the Institute of Sports/Dr Christopher Tufton Primary School football competition after beating Sandy Bank Primary 1-0 in the final at Luana last week. Phagon Levy's headed goal in the 52nd minute proved to be the winning strike as Barbary Hall ended the competition unbeaten. The final was competitive throughout with Barbary Hall more threatening in front of goal. Finally, Levy broke the deadlock in the second half when he rose to head home Crishnor Beckford's right-side cross. Sandy Bank were tasting defeat for the first time and, unfortunately for them, it came at the wrong moment. Gold Club lift Domino title Gold Club exacted revenge against Bejon's to lift the INSPORTS/ Community Domino title, beating the latter 300-288 in the final at the Institute of Sports Car Park on Sunday. The final was billed as a grudge match after Bejon's defeated Gold Club in the preliminary round and topped the standings ahead Gold Club in the process. In a very close battle, which saw the teams sharing the lead on a few occasions, there was little separating the competition's two best teams at half-time as the score read 152-151 in Bejon's favour. But Gold Club inched away down the stretch to cap a remarkable victory, triggering rapturous celebrations among its players and supporters. Gold Club collected $25,000 with Bejon's receiving $15,000. In the battle for third place, Starlight dominated High Light for a comfortable 300-282 win. Starlight held a 24-point advantage at half-time (154-130), a lead they maintained despite High Light closing the deficit marginally.
