General Accident toppleScotia in BH netball

Former champions General Accident turned the tables on the previously unbeaten Scotiabank Group in their second-round Business House Netball Association Senior League top-of-the-table clash on Tuesday at the Stadium Courts, beating them 49-35.

Former national player Margaret Byfield led the way for General Accident with 35 points from 43 attempts in the goal shooter position, while current Jamaica captain, Nadine Bryan, supported with 14 from 17 attempts.

For Scotia, former national player Marsha Murphy scored 33 points from 44 attempts, but her effort was not good enough this time around. When both teams met for the first time some weeks ago, Scotia beat General Accident by 22 points. Both will meet again in the final on October 20.

Unbeaten Petrojam made a clean sweep of all titles in the 2012 Business House football season, when they defeated St Ann champions Sans Souci 3-0 in the Champion of Champions return leg play-off at Drax Hall on Thursday afternoon for a 4-1 aggregate.

Both teams had played to a 1-1 draw eight days earlier at Tinson Pen in Kingston. But Petrojam reported in devastating form on Thursday, thanks to goals from Andrew Mais, Ricardo Munroe and David Stultz.

The Petrojam team is captained by Jothan Watson and coached by Ainsworth Ennis.

In other second-round matches, defending champions Scotiabank drubbed JMMB 9-0 at Emmet Park, thanks to a hat-trick from Jamoy Sibblies and a brace from Anthony Greenland. Jamaica National and BOJ drew 1-1 at the NWC playing field, Mona, in the third match of the day.

Foster face off in a top-of-the-table clash in the Portmore Cricket Association (PCA)/Wray and Nephew-sponsored T20 Club Championships in the first match of a double-header at the Portsmouth ground, as the competition resumes tomorrow morning after a one-week break due to bad weather. This match bowls off at 10 o'clock.

Colours and G.C. Foster are both on eight points apiece from two matches. However, Colours have the edge as they boast a superior net run rate.

Batsmen John Ross Campbell, who has the league's top score of 137, and Shane Brooks will add firepower to Colours' line-up, while Gavin Wallace and Wayne Morgan will put some sting in the G.C. Foster batting.

In the second game at the venue, Silverstone are expected to feel the heat when they take on veteran club Ken's Wildflower at 2 p.m.

In the other Zone B fixtures, Hamilton Gardens play Belmont in the morning game at G.C. Foster, while the afternoon matchup pits Passagefort against the ever-improving Greater Portmore at the same venue.

In Zone A, Bridgeview and Portmore Pines will come out blazing when they clash in the feature match at Hamilton Gardens. Fans can expect some big sixes from Pines' Andre Bryce and captain Terrence Brown, as well as the Bridgeview pair of Nkrumah Bonner and Lionel Morant, both coming off half-centuries in their previous game against Gregory Park.

In the opening game at the venue, Reid's Pen take on Portsmouth, who suffered a shock loss against Washington CC two Sundays ago and must win to stay in contention, as the first game was rained out.

The other Zone B games pit Gregory Park against Washington CC at Bridgeport, a game Washington should win easily; and in the afternoon game at Bridgeport, Christian Gardens square off with Braeton Red Caps in a battle of the lesser known squads.

Flames A, Marine Parkbook semi-final spots

Flames A and Marine Park Dolphins booked semi-final spots in contrasting fashion on a rain-hit day in the St Catherine Netball Association quarter-finals at Ascot High School courts last Sunday. Only one match was possible as Flames A defeated Job Lane B 23-17. Both teams are coached by one of Jamaica's top junior instructors, Sheldon Thorpe.

The other semi-final between Marine Park Dolphins and Fresh Approach was blown off without a ball being passed as the latter didn't have the minimum number of players required to start a game.

The Friendship vs Hellshire matchup and the Rivoli vs Job Lane A encounter weren't played due to the inclement weather. These matches will be played this Sunday at the same venue. Match time is 4 p.m. for both games.

Zendo Champs

The 10th annual First Jamaica Zen-Do Kai Kan annual Martial Arts Championship will be held this morning at the Portmore New Testament Church of God, located at Bayside, Port Henderson Road. The competition kicks off at 9:30.

All eyes will be on young fighter Tyrique Tailoy, the grandson of chief instructor of the Jamaica Zendo, Shacho Karl Tai-Loy. He was outstanding at the US Open Martial Arts Tournament in Florida. He placed first in continuous sparring and second in kata. He participated in the U-11 black belt category. He is also one of the most-decorated young fighters locally.

Over the years, this event has attracted the best fighters in Jamaica, including members of the Jamaica Combined Martial Arts team. Two years ago, over 250 entrants from 14 martial arts schools participated in the eighth staging. The martial artists will compete in sparring, kata and weapons.

Porus win PeterBunting final

Derron Grey's seventh-minute strike in extra time was enough to give Porus a 1-0 win over Blue Mountain in the inaugural Peter Bunting Central Manchester constituency football competition.

Porus entered the game overwhelming favourites as during the preliminary round they had defeated Blue Mountain 3-0. However, in rainy conditions at the Comfort Community Centre, the game remained competitive throughout regulation time to end 0-0.

Porus got to the final after defeating host Hanbury 2-0, while Blue Mountain secured their spot with a 2-0 win over Mandeville Police.

Porus finished the competition unbeaten in eight matches, failing to drop a point, while scoring a whopping 20 goals, conceding four.

Chef's win Clarendon Business House title

It came as no surprise when Chef's Restaurant claimed the 2012 Tait's Pharmacy/National Wholesale-sponsored Clarendon Business House league after defeating Epic Hardware 2-0 in last Sunday's final at the Mineral Heights Sports Complex.

Romain Halsted (fifth) and Rohan Bartley (58th) got the goals for the first-time champions. The third place play-offs did not materialise as Young's Sports did not show, hence Farmers were declared winners.

In the previous week's semi-finals, Chef's impressed by stopping the unbeaten Zone A winners Farmers 1-0. That victory was a follow-up to a win which ended the run of defending champions Juici Patties.

Epic Hardware, the runners-up to Farmers from Zone A, got to the final with a 3-1 win on penalties over the competition's early favourites, Young's Sports. The two had earlier battled to an exciting 3-3 draw.

South Central Youth Football Awards today

Following a postponement due to a inclement weather forecast last weekend, the special awards ceremony for participants in the annual Juici Patties-sponsored South Central Confederation youth football competitions will be held today.

The hosts will be the sponsors at their headquarters at Clarendon Park.

St Catherine emerged as Under-15 champions, while Manchester finished second. St Catherine again dominated the Under-13s, while St Elizabeth were runners-up. It is the first year that Clarendon have not secured any of the top places in either category.

Community neighbours Comfort District and Broadleaf will do battle again in the Peter Bunting sponsored Central Manchester community Twenty20 final.

Last Sunday's final at the Comfort Community Centre had to be postponed due to constant showers. Comfort are again hosts. Action should bowl off at 10 a.m.

Comfort made the final following consecutive centuries by their captain and main batsman, Gary Graham. Two weekends ago, Graham scored 111 in his team's 250 for two against the community of Rhide. The latter could only muster 74.

In the next match a day later against the Gospel Fun House team, he was again his team's top scorer with another belligerent display with the bat, scoring 107 as Comfort scored a massive 297 for two. The losers made only 110.

Broadleaf secured their finals place with low-scoring wins over Porus and NCU. In the quarter-finals, Broadleaf won by seven wickets chasing Porus' 94, and won by eight wickets in the semi-finals, getting the 109 scored by NCU.

Legendary win Peter Bunting final

Legendary won the inau-gural final of the Peter Bunting Central Manchester Netball League at Comfort Community Centre last weekend, defeating G-Strikers.

However, the contest was much closer than expected as they won 27-24.
