An unbeaten 123 by Manda Farrow took Bonne Aventure to the final of the Victoria District competition in the 2018 Atlantic National Primary Schools cricket competition.
Farrow was excellent in taking her school past a monumental 196 that was posted by Rochard Douglas Presbyterian.
Rochard Douglas girls hammered the Bonne Aventure bowlers to all parts of the park in getting to the victory target for the loss of just two wickets in the allotted 20 overs.
Leading the batting for Rochard Douglas Presbyterian Annalise Sookhan who scored an unbeaten 53.
While she was at work, she found a willing partner in Elena Carlton who made a controlled 34, as they gave their school a total that they were expected to defend.
The two wickets to fall to Bonne Aventure went to Rayann Farrow and Karla Farrow. Both enjoyed similar figures of 1/33 of their four over-spell.
At the break, Rochard Douglas which has a proud tradition of success in Atlantic cricket was on top and looking good for a place in the title match.
However, it was not to be as when Bonne Aventure Presbyterian responded by making easy work of the target.
Leading that charge was Manda Farrow whose 123 not out brought screams of joy to her schoolmates who were on hand to support her.
Rayann Farrow chipped in with an aggressive 34 as the pair secured victory for Bonne Aventure with one ball to spare.
Elena Carlton finished with the best bowling figures of 1/27 of four overs, while Sookhan took 1/32 in three.
President of the Primary Schools Cricket Association Brent Francis said: “We heartily congratulate the Bonne Aventure Presbyterian players, their coach and teachers as they advance to the Victoria District Finals on May 15 at the Brian Lara Cricket Academy.”
