Revived Volcanoes in the driving seat
ROSEAU, Dominica – Tyrone Theophile
perished agonisingly short of another
first class hundred but teammate
Sunil Ambris was eyeing his third, as
Windward Islands Volcanoes conjured
up their best performance of the new Regional
Four-Day Championship, to take
command of their fourth round contest
against Leeward Islands Hurricanes.
Their bowlers first provided the momentum,
removing the last four Hurricanes
wickets cheaply for 50 runs, as the
visitors were dismissed for 259 in their
first innings here Sunday.
And armed with a lead of 34 runs,
Volcanoes marched to the close on 311
for six, to be 345 runs ahead going into
the final day of the game at Windsor
Park.
Sunil Ambris was unbeaten on 84

Generation Next FC and
Wadadli Strikers FC in calibration
with Stokes City
FC of the English Premier
League, EPL have begun
while Tyrone Theophile fell for 96
with his third first class hundred within
touching distance.
Taryck Gabriel chipped in with 30
and West Indies limited overs batsman
Johnson Charles, 28.
Volcanoes batted well in partnerships,
with Theophile anchoring two
key stands up front. He put on 68 for
the first wicket with veteran left-hander
Devon Smith (22) and a further 53 with
Charles for the second wicket.
Unbeaten on 47 at lunch, Theophile
upped the tempo afterwards, taking the
attack to West Indies seamer Alzarri Joseph,
as he raced to 96 on the stroke of
the drinks break.
But a lapse in concentration followed
in the first over after the resumption
and he skied a mis-timed stroke of
their one week training camp
at the St Anthony’s Secondary
School.
Jack Day and Arron
Duce coaches of Stokes City
FC has been facilitating the
pacer Gavin Tonge for Haydn Walsh to
take the catch at 153 for three.
Theophile struck 13 fours and two
sixes and faced a mere 113 balls.
Ambris then produced a patient
knock to control the game for Volcanoes.
He put on 74 for the fifth wicket
with Gabriel and another 32 with Kyle
Mayers (12) for the sixth wicket.
He has so far faced 146 balls balls in
170 minutes at the crease and counted
three fours.
Earlier, wicketkeeper Jahmar Hamilton
failed in his bid to reach his fourth
first class century when he fell for 94
after resuming the day on 77.
Shane Shillingford finished with five
for 96 while captain and fellow off-spinner
Liam Sebastien picked up four for
78. (CMC)
EPL training camp off to a good start
training sessions thus far.
Co-founder and C.E.O of
both local FC Ricky Santos
expressed that the purpose
for the camp is to get back
on track after a two-year hiatus
to improve local talent
and benefit from the exposure,
as according to Santos
you may never know what
can happen.
Coach Day who is making
his fourth appearance to
the island for the year noted
that he is observing the control
and talent of the young
players, while Duce making
his first appearance to the
island noted his observance
with the island ad regarded
the youngsters and technically
advanced.
The one week engagement
men will end on Friday
with the participants receiving
certificates and awards
for their participation.
