Centurion Leroy Lugg celebrates the top score of 109 yesterday

An emphatic century from Leroy Lugg buoyed by a gritty half-century from Odaine McCatty gave defending champs Jamaica a 20-run lead against the Windwards heading into the final day of their match in the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) regional U-19 three-day tournament.

Playing at the Guyana National Stadium, Providence, the West Indies U-19 opener batted for a gruelling 329 minutes, grafting a composed 109 from 261 deliveries littered with 11 fours and one six as he became the seventh batsman to score a century in the tournament. Lugg also shared a crucial opening stand of 133 with fellow opener McCatty
