A comprehensive 59-run win by Rose Hall Town Namilco Thunderbolt Flour over Tucber Park saw them lift the Berbice Cricket Board/Stag Beer 50-over first division title and $100,000 yesterday.

The match, which was played in honor of the late Basil Butcher at his home ground of Port Mourant,  saw Thunderbolt winning the toss and opting to bat, scoring 193 for 8. In reply, Tucber Park were dismissed for 134 in 34.1 overs.

Man-of-the-Match, Jason Sinclair piloted Thunderbolt with the bat on what seemed to be a difficult wicket with a match defining 67 that included two boundaries.
