Victory moved Tacky, one of the favourites to win the title overall this season, to the top of Zone D to remain unbeaten after two games.

Tacky’s impressive win was setup by Tyson Gordon Jr’s undefeated knock of 102, as the hosts posted 294 for two after being sent in to bat.

Gordon shared in two important partnerships with Javere Green (91) and Marland Williams (42) which laid the foundation for a massive total.

Batting first on a very good Port Esquivel pitch, Tacius Golding were bowled out for 87 with 13-year-old Thomas bagging 7-23, while Powell (2-16) and Jhamario Lewis (1-22) claiming the other wickets.

In response, Old Harbour High raced to 90 for six in 16 overs, with Powell top-scoring with 55 from 39 balls.

Tacius Golding’s talismanic all-rounder Jemoy Cummings, who had recorded a topscore of 29 runs with the bat, returned best figures of 4-36 in the Zone D encounter.

Indeed Ricardo Nkruma Anthony Edwards has come a long way from his humble beginnings in West Kingston a violence plagued geography that many Jamaicans described as one of the most notorious garrisons in the island. “I was born into that lovely residential community known more popularly as Tivoli Gardens, building 43. I say residential community because that is what Edward Seaga (former Prime Minister) said was what he had intended. It was supposed to be his ideal community, one that would flourish and be a model one for others to emulate,” he tells me.
