Proctor & Jacobs Lead Standout Performances
|
Another week of action in the Bermuda Cricket Board's 2025 season, alongside notable displays from Bermudian cricketers overseas, has delivered a fresh batch of thrilling encounters. Today, we shine a spotlight on the exceptional individual performances with both bat and ball that lit up the local and international cricketing landscape over the past week and weekend.
With the willow, young Zeri Tomlinson, representing Sedbergh School, notched the highest score of the week, crafting a fine innings of 108. However, the headlines on the local front belonged to Somerset Cricket Club's Jermal Proctor. The dynamic all-rounder was in scintillating form. On Saturday, Proctor blasted a blistering 92 off just 56 balls against Bailey's Bay, his innings peppered with an incredible 16 boundaries, laying the foundation for Somerset's victory. He followed this up on Sunday with a more measured but equally crucial knock of 76 against their fierce rivals, St. George's Cricket Club, which included ten fours and a six, again contributing significantly to a Somerset win.
Elsewhere, the PHC duo of Christopher Douglas and Charles Trott both recorded impressive scores of 64 runs in their team's victory over Somerset Bridge, showcasing the depth of batting talent across the Premier Division.
In the bowling department, Makai Jacobs of the Southampton Rangers emerged as the standout performer of the weekend. His exceptional spell of 4 overs, bowled yielded five wickets for just 14, was instrumental in the Rangers' victory. Representing Stenhousemuir overseas, Bermuda international Dennico Hollis also impressed with the ball, recording figures of 2 overs for a miserly 5 runs and claiming three wickets.
Back in the local league, Dion Stovell of Southampton Rangers continued his strong all-round form, taking three wickets for just 6 runs in his four overs. Finally, Macquille Walker of Bailey’s Bay also deserves a mention for his economical spell of 3 wickets for just 10 runs in his four overs.
These standout performances highlight the exciting talent and competitive spirit that continues to define the 2025 Bermuda Cricket Board season and the contributions of Bermudian players on the international stage.

Premier Division: Bailey's Bay Labour to Victory, Proctor Steals Show in Somerset Derby
Bailey's Bay secured a six-wicket victory over Devonshire Recreation Club at the Sea Breeze Oval, though the win wasn't as straightforward as the margin might suggest. Devonshire, electing to bat, were undone by disciplined bowling, particularly from Macquille Walker (3-10), and were dismissed for a modest 89. Despite Azende Furbert's unbeaten 30, Bailey's Bay took a surprisingly lengthy 18.3 overs to reach their target, losing four wickets along the way, with Shaquille Pitcher claiming three for Devonshire.
The marquee clash of the day saw Somerset Cricket Club and St. George's Cricket Club lock horns at the PHC Stadium. Somerset emerged victorious by 15 runs in a closely fought encounter. Jermal Proctor was the star for Somerset, anchoring their innings with a well-constructed 76 (including ten fours and a six) as they posted 147 for 4. Proctor then returned with the ball to take crucial wickets (2-15) in St. George's reply, restricting them to 132 for 9 despite Jonte Smith's top score of 37.
St. David's Cricket Club delivered the most emphatic Premier Division victory, crushing Eastern County rivals Cleveland County by ten wickets at Lord's. After winning the toss and putting Cleveland in to bat, St. David's bowlers ran rampant, skittling the visitors for a paltry 33. Remarkably, no Cleveland batsman reached double figures, with four run-outs compounding their misery. St. David's made light work of the chase, reaching the target of 34 without losing a wicket, thanks to unbeaten knocks from Tre Manders (21*) and Marcus Scotland (11*).
First Division: Stovell and DeSilva Fire Rangers, Trott Dominates for PHC
The First Division also witnessed some dominant performances. Southampton Rangers secured a commanding 99-run victory over Western Stars at the Sea Breeze Oval. After electing to bat, Rangers posted an imposing 162 for 2, built on an unbeaten 62 from Dion Stovell and a rapid 56 not out from Jordan DeSilva. Western Stars struggled in their reply, being dismissed for just 63, with Stovell completing a superb all-round display by taking 3 wickets for just 6 runs.
PHC recorded a comprehensive 61-run victory over Somerset Bridge at the PHC Stadium. After being put in to bat, PHC amassed a formidable 182 for 1 in their 20 overs, with Charles Trott smashing an unbeaten 64 off just 27 balls, including seven sixes. Christopher Douglas also contributed a valuable 64 before retiring hurt. Trott then starred with the ball, taking 3 wickets for just 16 runs as Somerset Bridge were bowled out for 121, despite Samir Tavares-Place's 33.
The day's action highlighted the contrasting fortunes across the Bermuda cricket leagues, with individual brilliance often proving the difference in tightly contested encounters.

Premier Division: Proctor's Brilliance Leads Somerset, St. George's Cruise, St. David's Win
Somerset Cricket Club secured a commanding 20-run victory over Bailey's Bay at home. Asked to bat, Somerset amassed 183 for 3, spearheaded by a blistering 92 from Jermal Proctor, who struck 16 boundaries in his 56-ball innings. Despite Coolidge Durham's quickfire 52 for Bailey's Bay, they were eventually bowled out for 163, with captain Dominic Sabir taking 3 for 29 for Somerset.
St. George's Cricket Club enjoyed a comfortable 8-wicket win over Cleveland County at the Wellington Oval. Restricting Cleveland to a paltry 83 for 9, thanks to Jonte Smith's 3 for 11, St. George's chased down the target with ease, finishing on 84 for 2. Macai Simmons led the way with an unbeaten 46.
The clash at Lord's saw St. David's Cricket Club edge out Devonshire Recreation Club by 5 wickets in a tighter affair. Devonshire were held to 116 for 7, with Kevon Fubler taking 2 for 16 for St. David's. In reply, Marcus Scotland's 42 anchored the St. David's innings as they reached 120 for 5, despite Allan Douglas's impressive 3 for 12 for Devonshire.
First Division: Rangers Dominate, Derby Aborted, Bridge Snatch Win
In the First Division, Southampton Rangers cruised to a comprehensive 70-run victory over PHC at Lord's. Rangers posted a strong 159 for 8, with Dion Stovell smashing a quickfire 51. PHC struggled in their reply, managing only 89 for 9, with Makai Jacobs claiming an impressive 5 for 14 for the Rangers.
The derby between Willow Cuts and Warwick Workmen's Club at Somerset Cricket Club was unfortunately abandoned due to unsportsmanlike behaviour. Willow Cuts had posted a strong 170 for 2, with Deunte Darrell unbeaten on 46. Warwick were 53 for 2 in reply when the game was halted.
Somerset Bridge secured a narrow 4-run victory over Flatt's Victoria in a low-scoring encounter at the Wellington Oval. Somerset Bridge posted 103 for 7, with Cadence Douglas unbeaten on 21. Flatt's fell just short in their chase, finishing on 99 for 7, despite Jermaine Clarke's 48. Swayne Raynor's 2 for 13 proved crucial for Somerset Bridge.
The day's cricket delivered a mix of dominant performances and closely fought contests, though the abandonment of the derby will undoubtedly be a talking point. The Premier and First Divisions continue to provide exciting action for cricket fans across Bermuda.
