Cricket
Anguilla’s very own wicket-keeping batsman Jahmar Hamilton continues to make us proud by scoring his second First Class century representing the Leeward Islands. Hamilton came to bat with the leeward in a spot of bother and really put his head down and showed his class and patience as he scored 119 runs from 295 balls to put the Leewards in with a fighting chance and a lead of 262 runs after day 3. In reply the CCC was unable to make the runs giving the Leewards the outright win.

Zarnel Hughes continues to make Anguilla Proud
KINGSTON College’s Zharnel Hughes, Calabar High’s Christopher Taylor and Kiara Grant of Alpha Academy shared the spotlight with some scintillating performances at the inaugural Alcor Windows and Doors Corporate Area Development Meet at the National Stadium yesterday.
Hughes, the Carifta and Pan Am Junior 100m champion of Anguilla, cruised to 20.80 seconds into a negative headwind of (-2.0mps) to be the fastest in the Class One 200m.
The powerful-looking Odane Bernard of Donald Quarrie High was second overall with 21.83 seconds, with KC’s Antonio Henry third quickest in 22.06.
Hughes, who trains with the Racers Track Club, got out of the blocks quickly from lane eight, ran the curve hard then cruised home with the minimum of fuss.
Hughes, who is expected to lead the charge for KC in the Class One sprints, missed the Gibson Relays as a precaution after feeling a little discomfort.
“It felt quite comfortable coming off the curve and entering the straight. I felt a little pinch in the hamstring, that’s why I was absent for Gibson. But as I came off the curve, it went away, so I just took my time and came in,” he told the Jamaica Observer.
Hughes, who ran 10.36 at the Western Milo Relays a few weeks ago, said he cruised and was satisfied with his time three weeks before ISSA Boys’ and Girls’ Championships.
That’s the time I was going out for, so I am happy I got it and I am pleased with my run,” he added.
