 Ramjohn grabbed two wickets for Spartans while Guyanese duo Carlos LaRose and Carlton Jacques took a wicket apiece.   Spartans in response, got home in 19.2 overs – 147 for five –  with Ramjohn completing an excellent all-round effort with an innings of 54. 

 UG’s bowling was led by Dennis Haywood and Pavindralall Persaud who grabbed two wickets each in an unsuccessful attempt to restrict the eventual champions.
