Johnson-special leads Harpy Eagles’ charge

SPECIAL TON! Leon Johnson scored 142 not out for Guyana Harpy Eagles in his penultimate regional first class game.

A magnificent unbeaten century from Guyana Harpy Eagles captain, Leon Johnson, piloted the hosts to 268 for nine after 86.3 overs on the opening day of their fourth-round clash against Jamaica Scorpions in the West Indies Championships.

At the National Stadium, Providence, Scorpions, who are sitting at the bottom of the table, won the toss and inserted the Eagles, but after a shaky start, it was Johnson who owned the day.

Eagles lost West Indies’ latest Test opener, Tagenarine Chanderpaul, fresh off his return for a three-ball duck, bowled by an inswinger from Marquino Mindley.
