Two centuries recorded in a single game

Hitting a century as an individual or as a team is the highlight of any cricket game at any level but two centuries in a primary school cricket game is unprecedented and special.

As the second round of the 2024 Inter-Primary Cricket Competition concluded this past Friday, April 19, East End Primary had posted a remarkable 114 run to 104 run victory over Red Bay Primary as the bats of both schools were still ‘cooling’ long after the game had ended. What a game!

Other results from the second day of competition included:

Zone A Boys: Edna Moyle beat Cayman Academy 71 runs to 68 runs and Prospect Primary outlasted newcomers Island Primary 43 runs to 37 runs. Cayman Prep B was not scheduled to play.

Zone B Boys: St. Ignatius Catholic were victorious over Marie Martin Primary 105 runs to 35 runs, Cayman International School outlasted Joanna Clarke Primary 50 runs to 49 runs and Cayman Prep A downed Sir John A. Cumber Primary 46 runs to 43 runs. Theoline L. McCoy Primary was not scheduled to play.
