Following the conclusion of the recently held VPL 4.0, the National Neil Williams T20 bowled off with an action-packed evening yesterday.

At Arnos Vale 1, titleholder General Guardians Saints registered a comprehensive 147-run victory over French Verandah SVGCC. Batting first, masterful performances from Jahiel Walters (87) and Jeremy Layne (65) powered the Saints unit to 215-4 from their 20 overs.

In response to the mammoth total set before them, French Verandah SVGCC could only muster 68 before being bowled out in the 16th over through an intelligent effort by Geron Wyllie (4-8) with the ball. Marlon Williams was the lone SVGCC batsman to enter double figures with 16 runs. See scorecard: Guardian General Saints vs SVG Community College T20 Scorecard
