National youth all-rounder, Joel Spooner snatched an eight-wicket haul yesterday on his home ground, Transport Sports Club to see the hosts defeat Sophia by seven wickets in the latest round of the Georgetown Cricket Association New Building Society 40 overs second division tournament.
Transport won the toss and invited Sophia to bat but they were unable to deal with the offspinner who took 8-12 as they were bowled out for 78 in 23.1 overs.
Spooner completely bamboozled the batsmen, bowling five of them and trapping another leg before wicket.
He was supported by Akeem Redman and Adrian Hinds who took one wicket each.
Sophia were cushioned from their collapse by a top score of 25 from Garth Allen batting at number nine. His innings was laced with four fours and one six.
Only Anand Persaud (10) and Akeem Hinds (13) reached double figures.
In reply, Spooner made use of a promotion to the top of the order to top score with 23. Himself and his opening partner, Devon Allen (17) added 41 and see Transport reach 84-3 in just eight overs.
