Inclement weather dominated the domestic cricket programme across Bermuda at the weekend, with only two matches reaching completion as St. David's Cricket Club and Cleveland County secured swift 10-wicket victories.
Persistent showers washed out fixtures island-wide, but dominant bowling displays allowed St. David's in the Premier Division and Cleveland County in the First Division to wrap up comprehensive wins in rapid time.
Brangman Runs Riot for St. David's
At Somerset Cricket Club, St David's produced a clinical performance to dismantle Willow Cuts.
Derrick Brangman proved unplayable with the ball, tearing through the Cuts' batting line-up to finish with outstanding figures of 6-17 from his 10 overs, including two maidens. Brian Hall provided superb support, taking 3-11 from 5.5 overs to dismiss Willow Cuts for just 43 in the Premier Division clash. Jalen Wales offered the only sustained resistance with a team-high 19.
St. David's made light work of the target, racing to 48 without loss inside four overs. Isaiah O'Brien blasted an unbeaten 26 off just nine deliveries—striking three fours and two sixes—while Ricardo Brangman joined the onslaught with 21 not out off 12 balls (three fours, one six) to seal the 10-wicket rout.
Proctor Stars in Cleveland County Rout
In the First Division, Cleveland County were equally ruthless against Devonshire Recreation Club.
Jermal Proctor delivered a devastating opening spell, claiming 3-3 from his three overs to trigger a Devonshire Rec collapse. Orlando Maulseed top-scored with six as Devonshire Rec were skittled out for a meagre total of 19.
Cleveland required fewer than four overs to knock off the runs, closing out the match at 20 without loss. Steven Bremar Jr hit an unbeaten 12 off nine balls, including a six, while Q'Shai Darrell added eight not out off 10 deliveries to cap an emphatic 10-wicket victory.
